Abstract - A new Typhloreicheia Holdhaus, 1924 from southwestern Sardinia (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Scaritinae) - A new Sardinian taxon, collected in a cave near Teulada (Cagliari) - Typhloreicheia elisae n. sp. - is herein described and illustrated. The new species can be differentiated from the other known species for the different shape of the aedeagus and its copulatory lamella, as shown in the illustrations of the article, while the particularly long head and the quite flat habitus distinguish the exoskeleton, reminding of other cave Typhloreicheia, like T. bavierai Magrini, Degiovanni & Petrioli, 2010 from the Trapani cave "Grotta del Sughero" in Sicily.
