Potamojanuarius lamellatus is a species of air-breathing land slug, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Veronicellidae, the leatherleaf slugs.
The holotype is kept in Zoological Museum of Kiel University (Zoologisches Museums der Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel) in Kiel, Germany (lot Mo-1392). [1]
The distribution of Potamojanuarius lamellatus includes Brazil. [1]
Potamojanuarius lamellatus was found to represent 50% of the prey of the snail-eating snake Sibynomorphus neuwiedi . [1]
Prince Alexander Philipp Maximilian zu Wied-Neuwied was a German explorer, ethnologist and naturalist. He led a pioneering expedition to southeast Brazil between 1815–1817, from which the album Reise nach Brasilien, which first revealed to Europe real images of Brazilian Indians, was the ultimate result. It was translated into several languages and recognized as one of the greatest contributions to the knowledge of Brazil at the beginning of the nineteenth century. In 1832 he embarked on another expedition, this time to United States, together with the Swiss painter Karl Bodmer.
