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.
