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.[3][4][5]

Taxonomy

The genus Xerocrassa is divided in 3 subgenera:[5]

  • Xerocrassa (Amandana) Fagot, 1891
  • Xerocrassa (Xeroclausa) Monterosato, 1892
  • Xerocrassa (Xerocrassa) Monterosato, 1892

Species
Xerocrassa cretica shell
Xerocrassa montserratensis shell
Xerocrassa penchinati shell
Xerocrassa prietoi shell

There are 53 or more species in the genus Xerocrassa:[6][7]

gollark: At least JS has a sort of working package manager.
gollark: All hail Javascript!
gollark: Oh, just "hold its own", not "actually do better", right.
gollark: Well, that's odd. I mean, Zen1's IPC is worse than Intel's architectures were, but a clock speed difference that big should overcome it.
gollark: Same with the mobile CPUs, since those are APUs.
