Xeroplexa Strucki
''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 (1993: 285) 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. Description Much like some populations of '' X. olisippensis'' in shell characters, being rather small and typically with a very narrow or narrow umbilicus, but several populations have the umbilicus larger. Shells of this species were figured as '' X. olisippensis'' by several authors. Distribution Endemic in southwestern Portugal where known only in W. Algarve The Algarve (, , ; from ) is the southernmost NUTS II region of continental Portugal. It has an area of with 467,495 p ...
