Deroceras vascoana is a species of air-breathing land slug in the family Agriolimacidae. It is native to France and Spain.[1]
This slug is pale brown in color. Collected specimens are 2.2 to 3.2 centimeters long. D. vascoana "is easily recognizable anatomically by the shape and colouration of its penis",[2] a main diagnostic character. The "relatively small" and "bulbous" penis is purple-brown in color at the apex, and the branching penial appendage is white.[2] When disturbed, the slug produces a copious white mucus.[2]
