During a routine collection of S. amplexifolius plants for laboratory tests on 25 June 2013, a row of 3 L. lilii eggs was discovered on the underside of a wild S. amplexifolius leaf, collected in Gatineau Park, Quebec, Canada. Surrounding plants were searched for more eggs, though none were discovered, nor was any obvious feeding damage by adults or larvae observed. This is thought to be the first record of L. lilii ovipositing on S. amplexifolius in nature and the first plant species outside the genera Lilium, Fritillaria and Cardocrinium (the known host genera for this beetle) where both oviposition in nature and successful larval development in the laboratory have been observed. This record is also only the second oviposition record for L. lilii in North America on a host plant in nature outside of urban areas where development might also be occasionally possible. Morphological descriptions of L. lilii are given.
