    1. Reviewed by Bradford Norman    Jan 1, 2007

    Action: changed name from "Arion afer" to "Arion ater "

    Reviewer's comments:
         "I believe the correct spelling for the species name is "ater" , no letter f. It is an introduced variety from Europe to North America; common in northern California; comes in brown and black forms. I have seen it at Eureka where this photo is from, at Crescent City, in DelNorte County , CA and commonly in the Puget Sound Region, WA (personal observations)."
