Despite their large size, striking colouration and genital extravagance, the taxonomy of the European giant keelback slugs of the genus is still poorly understood. Preliminary morphological and molecular data suggest that many unnamed or unrecognised species exist, especially in the Alps, the Mediterranean and the Balkans.
We organised a citizen science expedition to Durmitor National Park in Montenegro and discovered a new species, genetically distinct, but morphologically similar to the sympatric Wolf 1803 and describe it as .
尽管欧洲巨型龙骨蛞蝓属的蛞蝓体型巨大、颜色醒目且生殖器奇特,但对其分类学的了解仍然很少。初步的形态学和分子数据表明,存在许多未命名或未被识别的物种,尤其是在阿尔卑斯山、地中海和巴尔干地区。
我们组织了一次公民科学考察队前往黑山的杜米托尔国家公园,发现了一个新物种,其在基因上与同域分布的1803年沃尔夫氏物种不同,但在形态上相似,并将其描述为[新物种名称未给出]。
