Biology:Limacinae

From HandWiki

Limacinae is a taxonomic subfamily of air-breathing land slugs, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs in the family Limacidae. The only other subfamily in this family is the Eumilacinae.

Genera

Currently recognised genera in the Limacinae are:

  • Ambigolimax Pollonera, 1887;[1] formerly considered a subgenus of Lehmannia[2]
  • Bielzia Clessin, 1887 – with the only species Bielzia coerulans M. Bielz, 1851. Some authors, for example Russian malacologists,[3] have classified Bielzia within its own family Bielzidae (= Limacopsidae) or subfamily Bielzinae, but a molecular phylogeny has subsequently placed it within Limacinae.[2]
  • Caspilimax P. Hesse, 1926[3]
  • Gigantomilax O. Boettger, 1883[3]
  • Lehmannia Heynemann, 1863;[4] formerly considered a subgenus of Limax
  • Limacus Lehmann, 1864; sometimes considered a subgenus of Limax
  • Limax Linnaeus, 1758[3] – type genus of Limacidae; c. half the recognised species in the family
  • Malacolimax Malm, 1868;[3] formerly considered a subgenus of Limax
  • Svanetia Hesse, 1926[5]
  • Turcomilax Simroth, 1902[4]
  • Weltersia Giusti et al. 2021 – with the only species W. obscura Giusti et al. 2021[6]
