Tandonia is a slug - genus of the order of gastropods . Together with the genera Milax and Micromilax , the species of the genus Tandonia form the family of the keel cone (Milacidae).

features

The body is relatively slim and elongated to about 10 cm long. The keel extends the entire length of the foot, from the rear edge of the mantle shield to the tip of the tail, or is limited to the rear part of the foot. The genital orifice has no stimulator (as in the closely related genus Milax ) and the atria are not covered by the kidneys.

Way of life and occurrence

The Tandonia species were originally only native to Europe, North Africa, Asia Minor and the Caucasus. A focus of diversity is the Balkan Peninsula. Some species, such as the ground keel cone , were introduced to North America ( neozoa ). There they are considered pests in agriculture.

Systematics

The species that are now part of the genus Tandonia were previously put into the then more comprehensive genus Milax . The separation of the genus Tandonia and its independence is now generally recognized. Currently, depending on the author, up to 36 species are included in Tandonia . However, for some species it is still unclear whether they are not identical to one another. The MolluscaBase lists the following species for Europe:
