    ABSTRACT
    This paper is based on a project carried on for the purpose of studying the Coleoptera Cerambycidae Fauna of Mardin province (South East Turkey) in 2021 and 2022. Among the samples, we found a specimen of Prinobius Mulsant, 1842 that belongs to the species P. samai Drumont et Rejzek, 2008. The record is new for the Turkish Fauna and enlarges the range of this species on the North-West. This is not surprising because several species widespred in West Iran have recently been added to the South-East Turkey Fauna, especially from Mardin province.
