Prophysaon andersoni (J.G. Cooper, 1872)
|
Prophysaon andersoni, common name the reticulate taildropper, is a species of air-breathing land slug, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Arionidae, the roundback slugs.
These slugs are notable for being able to self-amputate (autotomy) a portion of their tail.[1][2]
