Synopsis

Explore the world of slugs through a meticulous, field-tested catalog. This comprehensive check-list offers a careful, evidence-based approach to identifying and classifying slug species, blending external observations with detailed anatomy and comparison of variants. It invites readers to rethink how malacologists organize this diverse group and to consider a new, more rational framework.

This edition presents the authors’ method for compiling a master reference—one that traces original descriptions, notes variations, and argues for a classification grounded in anatomy rather than color or form alone. It is a resource for students, researchers, and lovers of mollusks seeking a clearer map of the slugs across regions and families, with thoughtful commentary on how science builds consensus over time.

- Learn how variations in color and size interact with stable internal anatomy to shape classification
- Understand why both external features and internal structures matter in identifying genera and species
- See how a proposed public register of original descriptions could accelerate study and collaboration
- Gain context on how modern malacology balances tradition with new methods and evidence

Ideal for readers of natural history and taxonomy who want a grounded, methodical look at slug diversity and the evolving science behind their naming.
