Biology:Malacolimax
From HandWiki
Malacolimax is a genus of air-breathing land slugs, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs in the family Limacidae, the keelback slugs. Both known species are bright yellow.
Species
The genus consists of:
- Malacolimax mrazeki (Simroth, 1904)
- Malacolimax tenellus (O.F. Müller, 1774), the type species
An endemic species from Tenerife was described as Malacolimax wiktori Alonso & Ibáñez, 1989 because it lacks an intestinal caecum, but DNA sequences now imply that it belongs in the genus Ambigolimax.[1][2]
