Species within the genus Quadrula

In 2012, many species classified as Quadrula were moved to Rotundaria and Theliderma based on genetic and morphological evidence.^[1] Species currently in Quadrula now consist of:^[2]

Quadrula apiculata (Southern mapleleaf)
Quadrula fragosa (Winged mapleleaf)
Quadrula nobilis (Gulf mapleleaf)
Quadrula quadrula (Mapleleaf)
Quadrula rumphiana (Ridged mapleleaf)
Quadrula verrucosa (Pistolgrip)
