Animal pale, with body and shield besprinkled with black. 



The var. heynemanni s.str. is described by Westerlund as having back and

 body, the mid-dorsal line paler than the body colour, and a spotted shield in which 

 the spots are arranged in five or six longitudinal rows.

Limax marginatus var. diants Kimackowicz, Beit. Moll. Siebenb., 1884, p. 120. 



Limax marginatus var. niger Scharff, Irish Nat., 1889, p. 260. 



Tills variety, though occasionally showing faint tracings of the characteristic 

 markings, is in its extreme development entirely black or deep brown in colour, and 

 small in size, with a long and well developed keel. In this state it is also the var. 

 dianse of Kimackowicz and the var. nigra of ScharflF. Formula (321 123). 



When immature the animal i.s brownish with a pair of obscure bands on the back 

 and shield, which gradually become clouded over and lost as the animal increases in 

 a^e. Tlie sub-var. alpestris of Less. & Poll, indicates one of tlie stages of this 

 adolescent colouring, as it retains the paler dorsal line, and the lyre-bands on the 

 shield are faintly discernible.
