Tandonia kusceri (Pulmonata: Milacidae), a slug new for Slovakia

Ondřej Korábek, Tomáš Čejka & Lucie Juřičková

Tandonia kusceri (Wagner, 1931) is reported from Slovakia for the first time. The slug was found in the Ružinov and Petržalka housing estates, Bratislava, in 2014 and 2015, respectively. Our observations suggest that the species is well established in the Slovak capital. This finding calls for verification of some of the older reports of a similar species Tandonia rustica beyond the eastern border of its native range. Owing to unresolved taxonomic issues, the name T. kusceri should be applied only tentatively.

Keywords: Tandonia rustica, first record, urban fauna, non-native, introduction
