Letourneuxia Nyctelia
''Letourneuxia nyctelia'' is a species of terrestrial slug, a gastropod mollusc, belonging to the family Arionidae. Taxonomy For many years this species was known as ''Letourneuxia numidica'', described by Bourguignat from Algeria. The other species of ''Letourneuxia'' were synonymised with ''L. numidica'' by Wiktor. These included ''Letourneuxia moreleti'', which Castillejo considered instead to be a species of '' Geomalacus'' (criticised by ). In 2022 it was proposed that Bourguignat's 1861 description of ''Limax nyctelius'' referred to a juvenile of the same species that he described five years later as ''Letourneuxia numidica''. The forward position of the pneumostome is not known in any other North African species, and the stripes match. So the name of this species has now become ''Letourneuxia nyctelia'' (Bourguignat, 1861). The lectotype has been designated as the specimen in the illustration referred to in the original species description. Distribution and ecology The ...

Ambigolimax Nyctelius
The name ''Ambigolimax nyctelius'' (and similarly ''Lehmannia nyctelia'' and ''Limax nyctelius'') has been used to refer to several species of air-breathing land slugs (terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs) in the family Limacidae. An article published in 2022 revealed this confusion and furthermore showed that the original description applied to a slug species in a different family. The above names are therefore no longer appropriate and care is need to interpret the meaning of earlier usages. The following five species were confused: *''Letourneuxia nyctelia'' (family ''Arionidae'') is the slug originally described. Until 2022 it was mostly known as ''Letourneuxia numidica''; *'' Ambigolimax waterstoni'' is believed native in Algeria but has been reported also from South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Elba and some Scottish botanic gardens; *''Ambigolimax parvipenis'' is a widespread invasive species in the British Isles and California, and has been reported also from Spai ...

Ambigolimax Waterstoni
''Ambigolimax waterstoni'' is a species of air-breathing land slug, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusc in the family Limacidae. Taxonomy This is one of the several species formerly confused under the name ''Limax nyctelius'' and later ''Lehmannia nyctelia'' or ''Ambigolimax nyctelius''. In the early 1930s A.R. Waterston wrote his undergraduate thesis describing a species of "''Limax''" from the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. These specimens and others were the basis for H.E. Quick in 1946 to name them as ''Limax nyctelius'', a species described from Algeria. By that time M. Connolly had used this name for the same species in South Africa. It was subsequently reported more widely. Only in 2022 was it realised that these further findings were not all of the same species: slugs from the Carpathian Mountains and Bulgaria were of a species now called '' Lehmannia carpatica'' and the recently invasive species in Western Europe and California has been renamed ''Ambigolimax p ...

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 ...

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 ...
