Key to extant species of
Adelopoma
This attempt to key
Adelopoma
species is based on conchological features. Important diagnostic features, such as density of axial ribs and spiral striae, remain unknown for species described pre-2004. Moreover, we did not examine
type
material of earlier species and only rely on accuracy of the original descriptions of all taxa. Therefore, our proposed key is preliminary.

Mexico
