Abstract
The Typhlocharis gomezi group (Coleoptera: Caraboidea: Trechidae), whi ch includes T. gomezi Zaballos and two new species, T. wrasei and T. h iekei, is defined from western Spain (Extremadura). The study provides diagnostic characters of each species, a key for their identification and descriptions of the new species. The morphology of the group is d iscussed. Two types of evolutionary tendencies are assumed to have occ urred in its development.
