Xeroplexa setubalensis is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Geomitridae.[2] This species is endemic to Portugal. The taxa was previously placed within the genus Candidula until a molecular phylogenetic study revealed its current status.[2] This taxon is the type species of the genus Xeroplexa.[3]

Distribution
