Hemphillia
''Hemphillia'' is a genus of air-breathing land slugs, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Arionidae, the roundback slugs. The generic name ''Hemphillia'' is in honor of an American malacologist Henry Hemphill (1830–1914). At least some species of this genus are known as jumping slugs due to their behavior when threatened. At such times, they "jump" by coiling up and straightening out repeatedly in rapid succession. Species Species in the genus ''Hemphillia'' include:COSEWIC (2003). COSEWIC assessment and status report on the dromedary jumping-slug ''Hemphillia dromedarius'' in Canada.

Henry Hemphill
Henry Hemphill (1830–1914) was an American malacologist, a biologist who studies mollusks. In particular he studied land and freshwater mollusca. His collection of land, freshwater, and marine mollusks became holdings of the California Academy of Sciences and Stanford University. He was born in Delaware in 1830. He worked as a bricklayer in San Diego 1865, after making gold prospecting trips in the western states. He collected mollusks as early as 1861. He published catalogues of shells for sale from the 1870s to 1890. He moved to Oakland around 1909. He died in 1914 on July 24 as a result of contact with arsenic. He sold and sent out material labeled with unpublished names, and introduced varieties and formal names. He often used vague terms to describe the locality of specimens. Taxa He named and described many molluscan taxa, including: * ''Fluminicola columbiana'' Hemphill in Henry Augustus Pilsbry, Pilsbry, 1899 - a freshwater snail * ''Helminthoglypta walkeriana'' (H ...

Gastropoda
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. There are many thousands of species of sea snails and slugs, as well as freshwater snails, freshwater limpets, and land snails and slugs. The class Gastropoda contains a vast total of named species, second only to the insects in overall number. The fossil history of this class goes back to the Late Cambrian. , 721 families of gastropods are known, of which 245 are extinct and appear only in the fossil record, while 476 are currently extant with or without a fossil record. Gastropoda (previously known as univalves and sometimes spelled "Gasteropoda") are a major part of the phylum Mollusca, and are the most highly diversified class in the phylum, with 65,000 to 80,000 living snail and slug species.
