Xerocrassa carinatglobosa

Xerocrassa carinatglobosa is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Geomitridae. This endemic species is found primarily on the island of Cyprus.

Geographically, X. carinatglobosa has been identified at three distinct locations within the southern region of the island. Its distribution is limited to this specific area, where it can be found thriving in its native habitat.

In contrast to other sources that incorrectly attribute its range to Brazil, scientific records confirm that Xerocrassa carinatglobosa is indeed endemic to Cyprus. This distinction highlights the importance of accurate geographical information when describing species and their habitats.
