"Hydrolimax is limited to a region embracing New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania"--p. 18.

"Hydrolimax grisea Haldeman, 1842, after having disappeared from notice for forty-five years has been rediscovered in New Jersey and found to be an alloeocoel of the family Plagiostomidae, the first fresh-water plagiostomid known for North America. Hydrolimax constitutes a valid genus of Plagiostomidae and differs from the other genera of this family in the combination of follicular ovaries, unarmed penis, and extraordinarily large granule vesicle. In its general anatomy and histology it strongly resembles Plagiostomum"--P. 18.
