Abstract

Variimorda holzschuhi Horák, 1985 (Coleoptera: Mordellidae: Mordellini) is recorded as a wood-boring beetle on grapevines in the Aricak District (Elâzığ Province, Turkey). The record represents the first observation of a species of Variimorda Méquignon, 1946 developing inside and possibly harming the trunk of a cultivated plant. The condition of discovery and possible association with other beetles are presented and discussed.
