Abstract

The validity of Laevicaulis as the objective senior synonym of Eleutherocaulis , both published simultaneously in a complex and confusing work as genus-group names for veronicellid slugs, is confirmed. The type species, in both cases by subsequent designation, is Vaginulus comorensis , a junior synonym of Vaginulus alte , now Laevicaulis alte, a widespread tropical and subtropical invasive species.
