A large and spectacular Afrotropical blister beetle Horia fabriciana Betrem, 1929, associated with the carpenter bee Xylocopa pubescens Spinola, 1838 (Hymenoptera: Apidae), is recorded here for the first time from Israel. This is the first record of the tribe Horiini and the genus Horia Fabricius, 1787 specifically from Israel, and the northernmost point of the distribution of these taxa.
