Deroceras panormitanum is a species of air-breathing land slug, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusc in the family Agriolimacidae.
Deroceras panormitanum sensu stricto ("in the strict sense") occurs predominantly only on Sicily and Malta.[2] Before 2011,[3] this name was also applied to what turned out to be a distinct species, Deroceras invadens, a species which has spread around the world and is often a pest.
This species is not listed in the IUCN red list.[4]
