Tropidophora

These large, split-sole snails are found in Tanzania, == Species ==

The present classification of this genus into three subgenera, 95 species and 142 varieties is complex and confused. This classification is best ignored temporarily, as it is based on subtle morphological varieties among small samples. It is also assumed that many smaller species remain to be discovered. The following species are recognised in the genus Tropidophora: • Tropidophora aequatoria • Tropidophora alluaudi • Tropidophora alternans • Tropidophora ambilobeensis • Tropidophora anceps • Tropidophora andrakarakarensis • Tropidophora andrapangana • Tropidophora articulata • Tropidophora aspera • Tropidophora balteata • Tropidophora bathiei • Tropidophora bemaraensis • Tropidophora besalampiensis • Tropidophora betsileoensis • Tropidophora bicarinata • Tropidophora boucheti • Tropidophora calcarea • Tropidophora carinata • Tropidophora carnicolor • Tropidophora castanea • Tropidophora cavernarum • Tropidophora cecionii • Tropidophora chavani • Tropidophora chromium • Tropidophora cincinna • Tropidophora comburens • Tropidophora concinna • Tropidophora consocia • Tropidophora coquandiana • Tropidophora crenulata • Tropidophora creplini • Tropidophora cuvieriana • Tropidophora deburghiae • Tropidophora deliciosa • Tropidophora delmaresi • Tropidophora denisi • Tropidophora denselirata • Tropidophora deshayesiana • †Tropidophora desmazuresi • Tropidophora diegoensis • Tropidophora dingeoni • Tropidophora erlangeri • Tropidophora eugeniae • Tropidophora eustola • Tropidophora felicis • Tropidophora feringalavaensis • Tropidophora filopura • Tropidophora filostriata • Tropidophora fimbriata • Tropidophora fivanonensis • Tropidophora formosa • Tropidophora foveolata • Tropidophora franzhuberi • Tropidophora freyi • Tropidophora fulvescens • Tropidophora fuscula • Tropidophora gallorum • Tropidophora gardineri • Tropidophora goudotiana • Tropidophora grisea • Tropidophora hartvigiana • Tropidophora hildebrandti • Tropidophora humberti • Tropidophora humbloti • Tropidophora humbug • Tropidophora icterica • Tropidophora insularis • Tropidophora interrupta • Tropidophora ivongoensis • Tropidophora johnsoni • Tropidophora lamarckii • Tropidophora letourneuxi • Tropidophora lienardi • Tropidophora ligata • Tropidophora ligatula • Tropidophora lincolni • Tropidophora lineata • Tropidophora lirata • Tropidophora liratoides • Tropidophora luti • Tropidophora maignei • Tropidophora marojeziana • Tropidophora mauritiana • Tropidophora michaudi • Tropidophora microchasma • Tropidophora milloti • Tropidophora miocenica • Tropidophora moniliata • Tropidophora morondavensis • Tropidophora moulinsii • Tropidophora nyasana • Tropidophora occlusa • Tropidophora ochracea • Tropidophora oppessulata • Tropidophora perfecta • Tropidophora perinetensis • Tropidophora petiti • Tropidophora philippiana • Tropidophora plurilirata • Tropidophora polyzonata • Tropidophora principalis • Tropidophora propeconsocia • Tropidophora propevitellina • Tropidophora puerilis • Tropidophora pulchella • Tropidophora pulchra • Tropidophora pyrostoma • Tropidophora reesi • Tropidophora reticulata • Tropidophora salvati • Tropidophora sarcodes • Tropidophora sarodranensis • Tropidophora scabra • Tropidophora secunda • Tropidophora semidecussata • Tropidophora semilirata • †Tropidophora semilineata P.M.A. Morelet, 1881 • Tropidophora sericea • Tropidophora sikorae • Tropidophora soulaiana • Tropidophora sowerbyi • Tropidophora surda • Tropidophora tenuis • Tropidophora theobaldi • Tropidophora thesauri • Tropidophora tomlini • Tropidophora transvaalensis • Tropidophora tricarinata • Tropidophora tulearensis • Tropidophora unicarinata • Tropidophora vallorzi • Tropidophora veridis • Tropidophora vesconis • Tropidophora vexillum • Tropidophora vignali • Tropidophora vincentflorensi • Tropidophora virgata • Tropidophora virgo • Tropidophora vitellina • Tropidophora vittata • Tropidophora vuillemini • Tropidophora winckworthi • Tropidophora xanthocheila • Tropidophora zanguebarica • Tropidophora zonata ==Synonyms==
