Abstract - A new Typhloreicheia Holdhaus, 1924 from Barbagia Seulo (Sardinia) (Cole-optera, Carabidae, Scaritinae) - A new Sardinian taxon - Typhloreicheia musimon n. sp. - from a cave in Barbagia Seulo, Seui (Ogliastra), is herein described and illustrated. The new species is close to T. casalei Magrini, Marcia & Onnis, 2011, from the cave “Buco sotto la Punta Zippiri, N° 2649 Sa/NU”, mainly for the aedeagus' shape, but it is easily distinguished from it for several and evident characteristics, i.e. minor size, different shape of the copulatory lamella, of the dorsal margin of the aedeagus and the same in ventral view, the female styli. A new group of species, namely, the "pandora Group", from central-eastern Sardinia is here proposed.
