| Abstract |
Field campaigns were carried out in the North, Center, and South of Tunisia (2017–2022). Through this, three anophthalmous species of Trichorhina from three different localities in the North and Center-East of Tunisia were recognized as new to science, and consequently as the first record of the genus from Tunisia. A detailed morphological description of these three new species is provided. The abiotic factors of their habitat and micro-habitat are provided as well as their associated fauna. |
