Material examined.

Locality no. 6: CUMZ-CM178 (1 specimen in ethanol; Fig. 3E, F ). The slug was found to live under rotten logs.

Remarks.

This slug specimen was collected under rotten logs in grassland mixed with pine forest of Kirirom National Park at ca. an altitude of 660 m. They have a long elliptical and dorsolaterally flattened body. The dorsal side (notum) is thickened, with dark colour and scattered with brownish spots, and without median stripe. The ventral side (hyponotum) is with much lighter, pale creamy colouration, with tiny greyish spots distributed across hyponotum, and a narrow foot sole located in the middle. The foot sole is as long as and slightly narrower than the hyponotum, with pale yellowish brown colour. This slug is different from V. siamensis in having a blackish notum without the median stripe.
