Habitat:
Xya pfaendleri inhabits similar habitats as Xya variegata, namely sandy, open shores, but usually misses in drier areas.
Life cycle:
Similar to Xya variegata.
Endangerment factors:
Se Xya variegata.
Remarks:
The distribution is similar to Xya variegata from N-Africa across S-Europe to S-Asia. But according to present knowledge Xya pfaendleri seems to miss totally in e.g. France. But in SE-Central Europe it seems to be the more widespread species.
Xya variegata
