Abstract

In this paper, we present the first records of the Budapest slug, Tandonia budapestensis (Hazay, 1880), from five localities in Bosnia & Herzegovina. We provide a detailed description of the external morphology and reproductive system of the specimens. We also speculate on the presence of Tandonia kusceri (H. Wagner, 1931) in Bosnia & Herzegovina, based on the present distribution and spread of the species and one photo posted on a social media platform.
