Xerogyra spadae is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Geomitridae.

[5] The umbilicus is initially narrow, but at the last whorl it increases to one-fourth of the shell diameter.

It lives on pebbly grassland in the alpine tundra and subalpine zone up to the summit region.

This population decline was caused by an overall dryness in Central Italy's climate.

[1] Xerogyra spadae faces risk from the tourism industry and grazing activity.

With the intensity of land-use in the Apennines described by the IUCN as "stable or even increasing", grazing activity such as pasturing also results in change of the natural vegetation with adverse effects.
