A new giant keelback s lug of the genus Limax from the Balkans, des cribed by citizen s cientis

Abstract

Background Despite their large size, striking colouration and genital extravagance, the taxonomy of the European giant keelback slugs of the genus Limax is still poorly understood. Preliminary morphological and molecular data suggest that many unnamed or unrecognised species exist, especially in the Alps, the Mediterranean and the Balkans.
