Xeroplexa species were within genus Candidula until a molecular phylogeny revealed the polyphyly of Candidula, and the genus Xeroplexa Monterosato, 1892 was recovered.

Distribution

The genus is mainly distributed along western Iberian Peninsula, although X. intersecta spreads from northern Iberian Peninsula to central Europe and British Islands.{{Cite journal|last=Holyoak|first=D.T.|last2=Holyoak|first2=G.A.|date=2014|title=A review of the genus Candidula in Portugal with notes on other populations in western Europe (Gastropoda, Pulmonata: Hygromiidae)|journal=Journal of Conchology|volume=41|pages=629–672}}
