Introduced leaf beetles of the =20 Maritime Provinces, 5: The lily leaf beetle Lilioceris lilii (Scopoli) =20= (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). Proceedings of the Entomological Society =20= of Washington 110(1): 186-195. There is a PDF reprint available online at: http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/Environment/NHR/PDF/Lilioceris_lilii.pdf I continue to be interested in monitoring the dispersal of this =20 species in the region. If you find them, and you are located outside =20 of the Halifax-Dartmouth-Waverley metro area where they are already =20 well-established, I'd be very interested in hearing about it. For =20 instance, Angela's report of this species from Windsor (below) is the =20= first report that we have of Lilioceris lilii from there. Best wishes!
