First record of invasive slug Krynickillus melanocephalus Kaleniczenko, 1851 (Gastropoda: Eupulmonata: Agriolimacidae) in Poland

Abstract

During amateur nature observations in Kabaty Woods Nature Reserve in Warsaw, a slug of family Agriolimacidae was sighted. Photos with localisation tags have been submitted to iNaturalist website, where the algorithm suggested an identification of Krynickillus melanocephalus Kaleniczenko, 1851. Following specialists’ interests, three specimens were collected from the original location. Anatomical examination confirmed their identification. It is therefore the first documented record of K. melanocephalus in Poland.
