Limax luctuosus Moquin-Tandon, 1855 | |
Limax luctuosus is a species of air-breathing land slug, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Limacidae, the keelback slugs. So far, it has not been adequately investigated and is therefore an unsafe species. [1]
The taxon was first described by Alfred Moquin-Tandon in 1855 as a variety of Limax maximus . [2] It could be a form of Limax cinereoniger or an endemic species. [1]
Limax luctuosus was described from France, but it should also be present in the western Alps. [3] [4]
Christian Horace Benedict Alfred Moquin-Tandon was a French naturalist and doctor.
