The Veronicellid Slugs Of Florida

Since the circular on the slugs of Florida (Stange, 1978), additional information on the occurrence of veronicellid slugs in Florida has been gathered. This new information includes the range extension of the Paraguayan slug, Angustipes ameghini (Gambetta) into Orange County (Gillmore, 1982) and the introduction of the Mexican slug, Leidyula moreleti (Crosse and Fischer), into Orange County (Deisler and Phelps, in press). Two additional counties (Alachua and Pinellas) can also be added to the range of the Paraguayan slug based on surveys made in 1984. Nomenclatural changes have been adopted following Thome (1975).
