Abstract - A new Typhloreicheia Holdhaus, 1924 from the Tacco of Ulassai, Ogliastra (Sardinia) (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Scaritinae) - A new Sardinian species - Typhloreicheia francescoi n. sp. - is described from a cave in the Tacco of Ulassai, Ogliastra. For the shape of the aedeagus apex, bent downwards at 90°, it belongs to the “pandora group”, as defined in MAGRINI & ONNIS (2014). Though, it is easily distinguishable from the other species for the peculiar structure of the copulatory lamella, falciform lamina shaped, with pointed apex, and the structure of female stylomeres as well, with very long ensiform spines.
