Xeroplexa [1] is a genus of small, air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Helicellinae of the family Geomitridae, [2] the hairy snails and their allies. [3] [4]
Xeroplexa species were within genus Candidula until a molecular phylogeny revealed the polyphyly of Candidula , and the genus Xeroplexa Monterosato, 1892 was recovered. [2]
The genus is mainly distributed along western Iberian Peninsula, although X. intersecta spreads from northern Iberian Peninsula to central Europe and British Islands. [5] [2]
Species within the genus Xeroplexa include:
Candidula is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Geomitridae, . the hairy snails and their allies.
Helicella is a genus of small to medium-sized, air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Helicellinae of the family Geomitridae, the hairy snails and their allies.
Trochoidea is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Helicellinae of the family Geomitridae. The name means "those that are shaped like a top".
Xerosecta is a genus of small, air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Helicellinae of the family Geomitridae, the hairy snails and their allies.
Cernuella is a genus of small air-breathing land snails, pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Geomitridae, the hairy snails and their allies.
Xeromunda is a genus of small air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Helicellinae of the family Geomitridae, the harry snails and their allies.
Xeroplexa intersecta is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Geomitridae.
Xerocrassa is a genus of small, air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs in the subfamily Helicellinae of the family Geomitridae.
Xerolenta is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs in the family Geomitridae, the harry snails and their allies.
Xerotricha is a genus of small air-breathing land snails, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Helicellinae of the family Geomitridae.
Xeropicta is a genus of small air-breathing land snails, pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Helicellinae of the family Geomitridae, the hairy snails and their allies.
Geomitridae is a taxonomic family of small to medium-sized air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Helicoidea.
Zarateana is a genus of small, air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Geomitridae, the hairy snails and their allies.
Xeroplexa setubalensis is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Geomitridae.
Xerogyra is a genus of small, air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Geomitridae.
Xeroplexa arrabidensis is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Geomitridae.
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.
Xeroplexa scabiosula is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Geomitridae.
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.
Xeroplana is a genus of small, air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Helicellinae of the family Geomitridae.
