Lehmannia is a genus of air-breathing land slugs in the family Limacidae, the keelback slugs. The genus is distributed in Europe and North Africa.[2]
Description
These are narrow-bodied slugs up to 8 centimeters long. The mantle covers less than a third of the body length. They are cream-colored to brown or black, usually with at least two longitudinal stripes along the mantle. The sole of the foot is lightest in the middle. The penis is short compared to those of certain other slugs, and in shape it may be "tubular, baggy, or claviform" (club-shaped).[2] The mucus is watery.[2]
Biology
Most species live in mountain habitat, where they can be found on trees and rocks. They feed on lichens.[2]
