- Abstract
The article provides information about a research on the deroceras juranum (D. juranum) found in the north east of Austria, the first recorded sighting of the species outside the Jura mountains in Scotland. It cites the differences between Swiss and Austrian D. juranum and D. rodnae, such as Austrian specimens have a short and wide stimulator while the other kind has more slender ones. The study noted that D. juranum is not restricted to altitudes above 900 meters. The authors believe that D. juranum is not endemic to the Swiss Jura.
