New and little-known terrestrial slugs are dealt with based on extensive collections made in East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda) 1993-2007. This account deals primarily with larger species from forests in the Eastern Arc Mountains of Tanzania. In Veronicellidae, Germain, 1908 is extended to Tanzania by P. (Hoffmannia) zootoca tanzaniensis in the Udzungwa Mts. In Urocyclidae, is described from the Pare Mts. and is described from the Uluguru Mts. In Urocyclinae, is described from the Usambara Mts., from the Uluguru Mts., and from the Udzungwa Mts. In addition, the ill-defined genus Simroth, 1910 is discussed and the little-known Pollonera, 1906 is reported from Uganda. In Agriolimacidae, a species of Rafinesque, 1820 is reported for the first time from southern Tanzania. The taxonomic attribution and significance of each discovery is discussed.
基于1993年至2007年在东非(肯尼亚、坦桑尼亚和乌干达)进行的大量采集,对新的和鲜为人知的陆生蛞蝓进行了研究。本报告主要涉及坦桑尼亚东弧山脉森林中的较大物种。在Veronicellidae科中,1908年的Germain通过坦桑尼亚乌德宗瓦山脉的P.(Hoffmannia)zootoca tanzaniensis扩展到了坦桑尼亚。在Urocyclidae科中,从帕雷山脉描述了[具体物种1],从乌鲁古鲁山脉描述了[具体物种2]。在Urocyclinae亚科中,从乌桑巴拉山脉描述了[具体物种3],从乌鲁古鲁山脉描述了[具体物种4],从乌德宗瓦山脉描述了[具体物种5]。此外,还讨论了定义不明确的1910年的Simroth属,并报告了乌干达鲜为人知的1906年的Pollonera属。在Agriolimacidae科中,首次报道了1820年Rafinesque的一个物种来自坦桑尼亚南部。讨论了每个发现的分类归属和意义。
