Arion is a genus of air-breathing land slugs in the family Arionidae, the roundback slugs. Most species of this Palearctic genus are native to the Iberian Peninsula.[1]
Species can be difficult to distinguish from one another upon cursory examination, because individuals of a species can vary in color and there are few obvious differences between taxa.[2] The color of an individual can be influenced by its diet.[3]
Some Arion are known as pests, such as A. lusitanicus auct. non Mabille (= A. vulgaris), which damages agricultural crops and ornamental plants, and A. rufus, a familiar garden pest.[4] Arion slugs are often transported internationally in shipments of plant products and mushrooms.[5] Arion slugs have been identified in North America and Australia as invasive species, altering the plants of ecosystems through seed predation and competing with native slugs.[6]
Species
There are approximately 40 species in the genus.[3][7]
Species include:
- Arion ater (Linnaeus, 1758) – black slug
- Arion circumscriptus Johnston, 1828 – brown-banded arion
- Arion distinctus Mabille, 1868 – darkface arion
- Arion fasciatus (Nilsson, 1823) – orange-banded arion
- Arion flagellus Collinge, 1893
- Arion fuscus (O.F.Müller, 1774)
- Arion hortensis Férussac, 1819 – small striped slug
- Arion intermedius Normand, 1852 (syn. Arion alpinus Pollonera, 1887[8]) – hedgehog slug
- Arion lusitanicus Mabille, 1868
- Arion obesoductus (syn. Arion alpinus auctt. non Pollonera, 1887[8])
- Arion occultus R.Anderson, 2004
- Arion owenii Davies, 1979 – warty arion
- Arion rufus (Linnaeus, 1758) – red slug
- Arion silvaticus Lohmander, 1937 – forest arion
- Arion simrothi Künkel, 1909
- Arion subfuscus (Draparnaud, 1805) – dusky arion

Etymology
The name Arion is from Neo-Latin, from the Greek areíones, a “kind of snail or slug.”[10]
