Xerogyra[1] is a genus of small, air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Geomitridae.[2]
The genus is distributed in the Italian Peninsula. Xerogyra species were within the genus Candidula until a molecular phylogeny revealed the polyphyly of Candidula and, the genus Xerogyra Monterosato, 1892 was recovered.[2]
Species
Species within the genus Xerogyra include:
- Xerogyra fiorii (Alzona & Alzona Bisacchi, 1938)
- Xerogyra grovesiana (Paulucci, 1881)
- Xerogyra spadae (Calcara, 1845)
