Limacidae

October 27, 2023

Limacidae, also known by their common name the keelback slugs, are a taxonomic family of medium-sized to very large, air-breathing land slugs, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Limacoidea.

Distribution edit

The distribution of the family Limacidae is the western Palearctic.[4] There are 28 species of Limacidae in Russia and adjacent countries.[5]

Anatomy edit

Cytology edit

In this family, the number of haploid chromosomes lies between 21 and 25 and also lies between 31 and 35 (according to the values in this table).[6]

Taxonomy edit

2002 taxonomy edit

Zhiltsov & Schileyko (2002)[7] elevated the subfamily Bielziinae to family level, Bielziidae, based on the morphology of the reproductive system of Bielzia coerulans.[7]

2005 taxonomy edit

The following two subfamilies were recognized in the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005):

  • subfamily Limacinae Lamarck, 1801 - synonyms: Limacopsidae Gerhardt, 1935;[8] Bielziinae I. M. Likharev & Wiktor, 1980
  • subfamily Eumilacinae I. M. Likharev & Wiktor, 1980[9]

Genera edit

Genera in the family Limacidae include:

subfamily Limacinae

  • Limax Linnaeus, 1758[5] - type genus of the family Limacidae
  • Limacus Lehmann, 1864; sometimes considered a subgenus of Limax
  • Bielzia Clessin, 1887 - with the only species Bielzia coerulans M. Bielz, 1851. Some authors, for example Russian malacologists,[5] classify genus Bielzia within separate family Limacopsidae.[5]
  • Caspilimax P. Hesse, 1926[5]
  • Caucasolimax Likharev et Wiktor, 1980[5]
  • Gigantomilax O. Boettger, 1883[5]
    • Gigantomilax csikii Soós, 1924
    • Gigantomilax lederi (Boettger, 1883)
    • Gigantomilax majoricensis (Heynemann, 1863)[10]
  • Lehmannia Heynemann, 1862[5]
  • Ambigolimax Pollonera, 1887,;[11] sometimes considered a subgenus of Lehmannia
  • Limacopsis Simroth, 1888
  • Malacolimax Malm, 1868[5]
  • Turcomilax Simroth, 1901[5]

subfamily Eumilacinae

  • Eumilax O. Boettger, 1881 - type genus of the subfamily Eumilacinae
    • Eumilax brandti (Martens, 1880)
  • Metalimax Simroth, 1896
