* Larca bosselaersi (Henderickx & Vets, 2002)
* Larca chamberlini (Benedict & Malcolm, 1978)
* Larca fortunata (Zaragoza, 2005)
* Larca granulata (Banks, 1891)
* Larca hispanica (Beier, 1939)
* Larca italica (Gardini, 1983)
* Larca laceyi (Muchmore, 1981)
* Larca lata (Hansen, 1884)
* Larca lucentina (Zaragoza, 2005)
* Larca notha (Hoff, 1961)

The following species have been placed in the family since then:[2]

* Larca aalbui (Muchmore, 1984)
