Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at: https://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=996348 on 2022-08-06 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.
