Abstract: 

A new genus and species of arionid slug, Kootenaia burkei n. gen. et n. sp., are
formally describedfrom northern Idaho, United States. This taxonomic decision
is based on comparative anatomicaland molecular data involving representatives
of a total of ten species and three additional genera(Hemphillia, Prophysaon,
and Zacoleus) of the family Arionidae.The anatomical analyses show that the new
genus is characterized by a major autapomorphy,the complete absence of an
epiphallus, which is found in all other arionids. The molecular analysesusing
two mitochondrial genes and the anatomical data produce congruent topologies.
Overall,there is a high degree of concordance between the anatomical and
molecular datasets.
