In this study, Siirt province (Turkey) has been reported as the new distribution area for Rusty Grain Beetle, Cryptolestes ferrugineus (Stephens, 1831). In addition, some morphological measures are presented. The measured length of this species varies between 2.19 and 2.22 mm. It was found between May and June in pistachio orchards. In addition to being found in such pistachio areas, for this species; the facultative predator property must be observed. Adults as well as larvae, are cannibalistic and will consume eggs, pupae and prepupae of other species co-habiting with them. For instance, It is important to monitor the relationship of this species with the species belonging to the family Scolytidae, Bostrichidae and Diaspididae family species in this pistachio orchards in future.
