A new record of three-band garden slug Ambigolimax valentianus (A. Férussac, 1822) (Gastropoda: Limacidae) from Turkey

Abstract: Ambigolimax valentianus (A. Férussac, 1822), the three-band garden slug, is originally native to the Iberian Peninsula (Spain, Portugal, and the Balearic Islands); however, it has been spread by human activities to many other parts of the world. There is no distributional record of the slug in Turkey to date.

“…This ground-living species mostly occurs in greenhouses, gardens, compost heaps, and under fallen trunks and stones, preferably in shady locations with dense vegetation (Wiktor et al 2000). The native occurrence of A. valentianus is in the Iberian Peninsula (Barker 1979); however, it has been spread by human activities, presumably with garden plants and soil containing its eggs and juveniles, to many other parts of the world such as Ireland, England, Central Europe, France, South Sweden, Malta, West Italy, Russia, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, and Africa, as well as South and North America (Ekin & Şeşen 2018). This slug was found outdoors during the survey of the surroundings of the horticultural center in Bratislava City, Slovakia.…”

“…The species is widely introduced to most parts of Europe (Kerney et al 1983;South 1992) and worldwide (Herbert 1997; Barker 1999;Wiktor et al 2000). The species first recorded in Serbia in 2010 (Stojnić et al 2011) and in Turkey in 2017 is distributed in the Northern Anatolia Region (Ekin and Şeşen 2018). The species, which is mainly established in China and is likely to spread through Asia, is mainly recorded in Chaina (Wiktor et al 2000).…”
