Deroceras

Most species reach only 30–35 mm in length (max 45 mm). and the diverse mating behaviors were reviewed in 2007. ==Species==

In 2000, in the most recent monograph on the genus, Wiktor rejected earlier attempts (including his own) at a subgeneric (Agriolimax Mörch, 1865, Plathystimulus Wiktor, 1973) classification, because there appeared to be so many convergences and reversals. The only exception was that he split off Liolytopelte as a subgenus because of its distinctive hard plate within the penis; all other species were included in the subgenus Deroceras. There are at least 123 species in the genus Deroceras.
