Noctua Linnæus, 1758 (Lepidoptera) and Noctua Gmelin (Sauropsida) Limax maculatus was established in 1837 by Nunneley. However, it was found that Wiktor has already established Limax maximus (Gastropoda) in 1758. Since L. maximus was the senior synonym, it takes precedence over L. maculatus and it was used for the species.
