    ABSTRACT
    New morphological and anatomical data on some populations of Helix (Helix) pronuba Westerlund, 1879 (Gastropoda Helicidae) are provided. In particular, the populations from North Africa are examined morphologically and compared with the topotype from Crete (Greece). The genital organs of a population of Libya are also described.

    ABSTRACT
    The present contribution outlines a first record of two allochthonous land snails Monacha obstructa (L. Pfeiffer, 1842) and Polygyra cereolus (Megerle von Mühlgeldt, 1818) in Cyrenaica (Northeast Libya) (Stylommatophora Hygromiidae and Polygyridae). The two species have been identified through the study of the shell and the genitalia. Their zoogeographical origins, the possible way of introduction and distribution in Libya are discussed.

    ABSTRACT
    The following work provides an original contribution to the knowledge of Libya’s slugs (Parmacellidae, Limacidae, Agriolimacidae, Veronicellidae). It is based on the morphological and anatomical investigations of some populations of slugs collected in Cyrenaica. An analysis of the existing bibliography on this topic is carried out and geonemic and biological data on the studied slugs are provided. We report for the first time Eleutherocaulis striatus (Simroth, 1896) (Veronicellidae) from North Africa, and Ambigolimax valentianus (A. Ferussac, 1822) (Limacidae) from Libya.
