On the basis of a conchological study, taking anatomical data from the literature into account, four hygromiid species, sensu Ortiz de Zarate y Lopez, are reduced to three, viz. Cernuella virgata (Da Costa), Xerosecta promissa (Westerlund) and X. reboudiana (Bourguignat). Diagnostic shell characters are discussed and illustrated, and synonymy lists are given.
