Suppose G is an amenable locally compact group with lattice subgroup $\Gamma $. Grosvenor [‘A relation between invariant means on Lie groups and invariant means on their discrete subgroups’, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 288(2) (1985), 813–825] showed that there is a natural affine injection
$\iota : {\text {LIM}}(\Gamma )\to {\text {TLIM}}(G)$ and that
$\iota $ is a surjection essentially in the case
$G={\mathbb R}^d$,
$\Gamma ={\mathbb Z}^d$. In the present paper it is shown that
$\iota $ is a surjection if and only if
$G/\Gamma $ is compact.
