Abstract: Three new species of Lethrus (Lethrus) Scopoli, 1777 from the Balkan Peninsula
are described: L. (L.) halkidikiensis sp. nov. (Greece: Halkidiki Peninsula), L.
(L.) perun sp. nov. (SW Bulgaria) and L. (L.) strymonensis sp. nov. (N Greece:
region Séres). They are closely related to L. (L.) raymondi Reitter,
1890. Diagnostic characters (shape of mandibles and shape of ventral mandibular
process) are illustrated. The character matrix for the separation of males of
the Lethrus species closely related to L. raymondi known from Bulgaria,
Macedonia and NW Greece and a map of the distribution areas for each species are
presented.
