Ambigolimax is a genus of air-breathing land slugs in the family Limacidae, the keelback slugs.[2] There is still ongoing disagreement whether it is more appropriate to consider Ambigolimax as merely a subgenus of Lehmannia; the evidence for splitting them is phylogenetic trees constructed on the basis of DNA sequences.
