Arion circumscriptus, common name Brown-banded arion, is a species of air-breathing land slug, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Arionidae.

Description

This slug species is up to 40mm when mature.[1][2] It is listed as 50 mm long in Welter-Schultes [3] It is a roundback slug. Its color is dark grey (sometimes with bluish hue) or brown. The mantle has dark spots. The sides are usually lighter near the foot-fringe, and have one dark longitudinal band on each side; the one on the right runs above the pneumostome. The dorsum often has a very slight keel and the slug is bell-shaped in transverse section when it is contracted. The sole is whitish, and the mucus colourless.

Genitalia: the atrium is large; the epiphallus is heavily pigmented and wider than the vas deferens; the oviduct is short and not narrow; the spermatheca is elongate.[3]

Distribution

Arion circumscriptus is found mainly in the mid and northern latitudes in Europe. The distribution type is European Temperate.

This species occurs in countries and islands including:

  • Czech Republic
  • Ukraine[4]
  • Great Britain
  • Ireland
  • and other areas. See Fauna Europaea

This species has been introduced in:

  • Pennsylvania[5]

Parasites

Parasites of Arion circumscriptus include:

  • Parelaphostrongylus tenuis[6]

Taxonomy

The original description of the three slug species in the subgenus Carinarion, Arion (Carinarion) fasciatus, Arion (Carinarion) silvaticus and Arion (Carinarion) circumscriptus, was based on small differences in body pigmentation and details of the genital anatomy. A 2006 study of these morphospecies (typological species) claims that previous studies had shown that body colour in these slugs may be influenced by their diet, and that the putative genital differences were not confirmed by subsequent multivariate morphometric analyses. Analysis of alloenzyme and albumen gland proteins gave conflicting results. Also there was evidence of interspecific hybridization in places where these predominantly self-fertilizing slugs apparently outcross, contradicting their status as biological species. Molecular studies led to the conclusion that the three members of Carinarion are a single species-level taxon.[7] The name Arion fasciatus has priority.
