The last comprehensive list of the slug species of Britain and Ireland was in Anderson’s (2008) terrestrial mollusc checklist. It is available to download from the Conchological Society of Great Britain and Ireland.
The following slug species list test indicates changes to Anderson (2008) in red, as a result of recent research including our own. Genera and higher taxa are listed in the same order. As in the 2008 list, GB refers to Great Britain and nearby islands, IRE to the island of Ireland. Species recorded only as adventives (e.g., found in imported produce) but not recorded as breeding populations are not listed.
