Abstract: The presented work is based on the study of material collected by F.A. Romanyuk on Matua Island, Middle Kurils, in 2017, and on literature data. Currently, 70 lichen species are registered for the island; among them 24 are known only from literature data and 66 were collected during our study including 46 species registered for Matua for the first time. Verrucaria fusconigrescens is the first record for the Russian Far East. Lecanora atrosulphurea, L. sulphurea, Lecidella asema, Lendemeriella kamczatica and Lepra panyrga are new to Kurils and the Sakhalin Region. Information about location and substrate is provided for each species. For the species new to the Sakhalin Region, brief information on ecology and distribution, as well as images are provided.
