Ambigolimax melitensis is a species of air-breathing land slug, a shell-less pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Limacidae. [2]
The length of the snail attains 20 mm, its diameter 3.5 mm.
(Original description in Latin) The snail features an elongate-conical body that tapers toward the front and is pointed at the rear, lacking a keel and uniformly displaying a pale ash-gray color. The shield is moderately sized, not swollen, finely granulated, and rounded at both the anterior and posterior ends. Beneath the shield lies a small, oval-elongated, slug-like structure that is distinctly visible. [3]
The distribution of this species includes Malta and Italy (Sicily, Aeolian Islands, Sardinia, and the Tuscan Archipelago). [4] It also has been found in Tunisia and Algeria. [5] [6]

Mario Lessona was an Italian zoologist and malacologist. He was the son of the prominent natural scientist and senator Michele Lessona and his wife Adele Masi Lessona, who was very much involved in her husband's work, particularly in making translations. A son of Adele Lessona by an earlier marriage was the painter and malacologist Carlo Pollonera, with whom Mario published a monograph on Italian slugs. Mario also coauthored various scientific works with his brother-in-law, the zoologist and senator Lorenzo Camerano.
This bibliography lists publications authored by the Italian malacologist and painter Carlo Pollonera (1849-1923). The article endeavours to be comprehensive, and includes all works listed in previous bibliographies of Pollonera. Zoological Record and AnimalBase have also been utilised. Works listed without an internet link have generally not been examined directly. Dates given here follow those printed on the individual issue wrappers, which sometimes differ from those on the title page of the volume.
Ambigolimax is a genus of air-breathing land slugs in the family Limacidae, the keelback slugs.
The name Ambigolimax nyctelius has been used to refer to several species of air-breathing land slugs 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.
Ariunculus isselii is a species of terrestrial slug belonging to the family Arionidae. Previously it has been placed in the genus Arion or in its own genus Ichnusarion; the latter is more often treated as a subgenus.
Ambigolimax parvipenis is a species of air-breathing land slug, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusc in the Limacidae.
Ambigolimax waterstoni is a species of air-breathing land slug, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusc in the family Limacidae.
