Description
This slug is distinguished from similar species by the position of its respiratory pore toward the front of its mantle, the lack of a keel on its back, and a wrinkled surface. It varies in color from orange or red to brown or black. The fringe of its foot is red-striped and its tentacles are dark. It is 7 to 14 centimeters long and its mucus is sticky. The eggs are about half a centimeter long and are whitish when new, turning yellow-brown. It is very similar to the black slug, A. ater. The two can be distinguished with certainty only by dissection or molecular analysis. It has been treated as a subspecies of A. ater in the past.
