Arion vejdorskyi explained
Arion vejdorskyi or Arion vejdowskyi is a taxon with unclear taxonomic position and probably a synonym for other species.[1] [2] It was described as a species of air-breathing land slug, a shell-less terrestrial gastropod mollusk in the family Arionidae, the roundback slugs.
Synonyms
This slug was described from the Czech Republic by J. Babor & J. Košťál in 1893 in Jarov near Závist as Arion (Microarion) vejdovskýi.[3]
It is also mentioned in other works:
- Arion (Microarion) vejdovskýi J. Babor & J. Košťál, 1893[4] [5]
- Arion vejdowskyi Babor & Kostal, 1893[2] [6] [7]
- Arion vejdorskyi[8]
Distribution
This slug was described from the Czech Republic.
It is not mentioned in recent lists of molluscs recorded in the Czech Republic[9] [10] [11] but it is still mentioned in various internet pages and in databases (see above for references).
Due to its uncertain taxonomic status, it is regarded on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species with the status DD (Data Deficient).
