<i>Xeroplexa</i> Genus of gastropods

Xeroplexa is a genus of small, air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Geomitridae, the hairy snails and their allies. The genus is mainly distributed along western Iberian Peninsula, although X. intersecta spreads from northern Iberian Peninsula to central Europe and British Islands. Xeroplexa species were within genus Candidula until a molecular phylogeny revealed the polyphyly of Candidula, and the genus Xeroplexa Monterosato, 1892 was recovered.

Xeroplexa carrapateirensis is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Geomitridae. The species epithet carrapateirensis is an adjective derived from the type locality near Carrapateira.

<i>Xeroplexa scabiosula</i> Species of gastropod

Xeroplexa scabiosula is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Geomitridae. Although this species was named by Locard (1899), it was treated as synonym of X. belemensis by Gittenberger (1993).

Xeroplexa strucki is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Geomitridae. Although named by Maltzan (1886), no differences from X. olisippensis were indicated and Gittenberger therefore treated them as synonyms. However, the present study has revealed that the W. Algarve populations named as strucki and similar snails from the coast of W. Baixo Alentejo differ consistently in having a much shorter penial flagellum.
