Arion subfuscus (Draparnaud, 1805) |
Arion fuscus is a species of small air-breathing land slug, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Arionidae, the roundback slugs.
Arion subfuscus (Draparnaud, 1805) is to be considered to be a partial synonym for Arion fuscus.[1] (For practical purposes they are synonyms in Germany and in the Czech Republic.)
