Abstract

Herein, we first report the comprehensive description of the terrestrial slug, Sarasinula plebeia (Gastropoda: Veronicellidae) by employing morphology, morpho-taxometrics and molecular analysis. A rapid survey on terrestrial slug invasive alien species (IAS) was conducted in La Dicha, Malangas, Zamboanga Sibugay, the Philippines. Obtained COI gene sequences shared 100% similarities to S. plebeia from Brazil (JX532107, KM489378), Dominica (KM489500) and Vietnam (KM489367) and further supported using Bayesian analysis thus designated as S. plebeia isolate LDZS. Notably, the first reported S. plebeia in 2013 from Batan island, Batanes, northern Philippines, characterized through COI gene markers (JQ582277, JQ582278, JQ582279) showed 100% sequence similarities to a closely related veronicellid slug, Laevecaulis alte isolates (LC636101, LC636102, LC636103, and LC636104) from Japan. Taken this into account, our S. plebeia LDZS isolated from an agricultural field is the first report in the Philippines with combined diagnostic tools for the taxon.

外来入侵种加勒比棱叶蛞蝓的形态、形态分类和分子特征(腹足纲:棱叶蛞蝓科):菲律宾南部首次记录

本文首次报道了陆生蛞蝓Sarasinula plebeia(腹足纲:Veronicellidae)的形态学、形态分类学和分子分析的综合描述。对菲律宾三宝颜西布盖省马兰加斯省拉迪查的陆生蛞蝓外来入侵种进行了快速调查。获得的COI基因序列与来自巴西(JX532107, KM489378)、多米尼加(KM489500)和越南(KM489367)的S. plebeia具有100%的相似性，并通过贝叶斯分析得到进一步的支持，从而命名为S. plebeia分离物LDZS。值得注意的是，2013年首次报道的来自菲律宾北部巴坦岛的S. plebeia，通过COI基因标记(JQ582277, JQ582278, JQ582279)的特征与来自日本的近缘维罗尼科slug Laevecaulis alte分离株(LC636101, LC636102, LC636103和LC636104)具有100%的序列相似性。考虑到这一点，我们从农田中分离的S. plebeia LDZS是菲律宾第一个使用综合诊断工具对该分类群进行诊断的报告。
