Species identification confirmed by RSA, 2015

Note.

Bousquet et al. (2013) listed this species without providing any details on its distribution in Canada, based on a similar inclusion in O’Brien and Wibmer (1982). We provide specific locality data for Canada for the first time. Like other Lixus Fabricius, 1801 spp., this species is probably associated with Polygonum spp. ( Polygonaceae ). Numerous CMNC specimens from Texas were collected on Polygonum .
