Xeroplexa scabiosula
# Xeroplexa scabiosula

Xeroplexa scabiosula is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Geomitridae.

Although this species was named by Locard (1899), it was treated as synonym of X. belemensis by Gittenberger (1993).

## Description

Shells very similar to those of X. arrabidensis and X. belemensis, with a relatively large umbilicus, but shell breadth smaller at maturity and ribs on dorsal surface of body whorl less developed (absent or very weak).

## Distribution

Endemic to Portugal (western Iberian Peninsula), where restricted to limestone districts of central Algarve.
