Fieldwork in 2022 and 2024 around Lac de la Lauch in the High Vosges, France, allowed sampling of seven specimens with morphological and anatomical characters fully matching the original description of <i>D. juranum</i>. Comparative anatomical studies with topotypes from the Swiss Jura confirmed this nominal assignment, particularly with regard to reproductive anatomy, including sarcobelum characters consistent with those reported in subsequent literature. The recent discovery of the <i>juranum</i> morphotype in the Vosges mountains, possibly the dominant homozygous genotype, extends its range westwards and raises the question of the validity of the previous records of <i>D. rodnae</i> s.l. from eastern France. The High Vosges mountains currently represent the extreme northwestern limit of the distribution of <i>D. juranum</i>, which is documented at its eastern edge as far as Austria and the Czech Republic. Further research is needed to determine the true taxonomic identity of the cream-coloured morph in the Vosges and French Jura which has been called <i>D. rodnae</i>.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"The mysterious purple mountain slug: First record of <i>Deroceras juranum</i> Wüthrich, 1993 (Gastropoda, Agriolimacidae) in France from the High Vosges mountains","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-06-11 01:33:17.903188","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2025,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2025-07-03","DateCreate":"2025-07-03","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":null,"VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1,"DOI":"10.61733/jconch/4547"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":409411,"PubliDate":2025,"Pagination":"571-577","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"45","Issue":"3","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":43035,"SerRR":"Journal of Conchology.
