Lixus terminalis LeConte, 1876, new to Quebec

Species identification confirmed by RSA, 2015

Note.

This species was reported to be associated with Polygonum amphibium L. (now Persicaria amphibia (L.) Delarbre) ( Polygonaceae ) more than a century ago ( Beutenmuller 1893). We also found it to be common on this same species of plant in Oka.
