Ambigolimax
''Ambigolimax'' is a genus of air-breathing land slugs in the family Limacidae, the keelback slugs. There is still ongoing disagreement whether it is more appropriate to consider ''Ambigolimax'' as merely a subgenus of ''Lehmannia''; the evidence for splitting them is phylogenetic trees constructed on the basis of DNA sequences. Species The species in the genus are: * '' Ambigolimax valentianus'' (Férussac, 1822) – Valencia slug, threeband garden slug * ''Ambigolimax parvipenis ''Ambigolimax parvipenis'' is a species of air-breathing land slug, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusc in the Limacidae.

Ambigolimax Parvipenis
''Ambigolimax parvipenis'' is a species of air-breathing land slug, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusc in the Limacidae. Taxonomy ''Ambigolimax parvipenis'' was first clearly characterised in 2014, based on specimens from the British Isles. This work showed it to be distinct from the externally similar '' Ambigolimax valentianus'' on the basis both of genital anatomy and of the genetic sequences in the barcoding COI mitochondrial gene. The species later named ''Ambigolimax parvipenis'' was at that time referred to as ''Ambigolimax nyctelius'' (Bourguignat, 1861) because of some similarity in genital anatomy with a slug species from the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh that had been named ''Limax nyctelius'' or ''Lehmannia nyctelia'' (since renamed '' Ambigolimax waterstoni''). These two slug species both lack a penial appendage but differ considerably in the length of the penis. In 2022 it was shown that they are indeed different species, that they had both been confu ...

Ambigolimax Valentianus
''Ambigolimax valentianus'' (also known as ''Lehmannia valentiana'') is a species of air-breathing land slug, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod The gastropods (), commonly known as snails and slugs, belong to a large taxonomic class of invertebrates within the phylum Mollusca called Gastropoda (). This class comprises snails and slugs from saltwater, from freshwater, and from land. T ... mollusk in the family Limacidae. Description '' External appearance does not reliably distinguish ''Ambigolimax valentianus'' from other members of the genus, such as ''Ambigolimax parvipenis, A. parvipenis'', with which it may co-occur. Like other members of the Limacidae, it has a pointed tail and the pneumostome lies in the posterior half of the mantle (mollusc), mantle. Often the most obvious character of an ''Ambigolimax'' slug is the two parallel, sharply defined, dark lines along the mantle, sometimes with a thicker less well defined line lying between. Two similar lines may lie m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
