Some species of Xerocrassa are instead considered to belong to the subgenus Xerocrassa, within the genus Trochoidea; in those cases the species are listed under the generic name Trochoidea. However, for other authors both taxa are not closely related being different genera.[3][4][5]

Taxonomy

The genus Xerocrassa is divided in 3 subgenera:[5]

  • Xerocrassa (Amandana) Fagot, 1891
  • Xerocrassa (Xeroclausa) Monterosato, 1892
  • Xerocrassa (Xerocrassa) Monterosato, 1892

Species

There are 53 or more species in the genus Xerocrassa:[6][7]
