The new species is found in the eastern part of the Mediterranean subregion and has been identified in Crete, Cyprus, and also the eastern part of Syria. Morphological analyses showed that the specimens of L. varius occurring in Crete, Cyprus, and the Middle East significantly differ from the specimens inhabiting the continental part of Europe. In connection with the above, it was suggested that a new subspecies be created for L. varius. Also, while analyzing the morphology of L. carinipennis specimens from East Asia, some differences were noted between those coming from the Oriental and those from the Palaearctic parts. In this case, tropical specimens were reinstated as a separate species. To sum up, in the Western Palaearctic, there are three species and one subspecies; in the Eastern Palaearctic, there is one species; and in the Oriental area, there is also one species of the genus Lichenophanes. All the species are presented in color macrophotographs, and maps showing the distribution of particular species are also included. The final part of this paper includes keys for the identification of the studied species.
