The Latin word for "slug" is limax (-acis, m. or f.).
There are many latinesque scientific names for particular species of slug, but these are too numerous to list here.
The answer "gliemzies" that can be found here and there on the internet is incorrect, and appears to be purely an artifact of an earlier WikiAnswers answer. In fact this is a Latvian word, not a Latin one.
