Lethrus (Lethrus) thracicus Král Hillert, new species, from Thrace, north-western Turkey is described. The new species is compared with the morphologically similar species L. (L.) apterus (Laxmann, 1770), L. (L.) ares Král, Rejsek Schneider, 2001 and L. (L.) schneideri Král Hillert, 2013. Relevant diagnostic male characters (shape of mandibles, ventral mandible processes, pronotum and parameres) are illustrated. The name Lethrus subaeneus Fairmaire, 1866 is considered a nomen nudum.

(L.) schneideri Král Hillert, 2013)进行了比较。展示了相关的雄性诊断特征(上颚形状、上颚腹侧突起、前胸背板和阳茎基侧突)。1866年的费氏扁锹甲(Lethrus subaeneus Fairmaire)被认为是一个裸名。
