We are grateful to associate editor Nathalie Yonow and reviewers Adrienne Jochum and Pierre Lozouet for constructive comments that helped improve the manuscript. Accessing field sites would have been impossible without help from local fishermen and villagers. We would like to thank the collection managers and curators of various institutions for sending us specimens on loan for examination in the present study: Virginie Héros (Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, Paris); Chad Walter (Smithso-nian Institution, Washington DC); Karin Kronestedt, Elin Sigvaldadottir, Emily Dock Åkerman, Anna Persson, and Anders Warén (Swedish Museum of Natural History, Stockholm); Thomas von Rintelen, Christine Zorn, and Matthias Glaubrecht formerly (Museum für Naturkunde, Berlin); Bernhard Hausdorf (Zoologisches Museum, Hamburg). Collecting was overseen by Deepak Apte in India, by Munawar Khalil in Indonesia, and by Shaw Hwai Tan in Malaysia. We are grateful to Rahul C. Salunkhe and Yogesh Shouche (Bombay Natural History Society, Mumbai, India, and National Center for Cell Science, Pune, India) for their help with the DNA sequencing of the specimens from India, and we thank Vishal Bhave for his help collecting slugs in the Andaman Islands. We thank the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education, Republic of Indonesia (Ristek-Dikti) for issuing a research permit to BD (Ristek #134/SIP/FRP/E5/Dit.KI/VI/2017). We also wish to thank the Universitas Malikus-saleh, North Aceh, Sumatra, Indonesia, for being our homebase institution in Indonesia. This work was supported by the Eberly College of Science at the Pennsylvania State University and by a REVSYS (Revisionary Syntheses in Systematics) award to BD from the US National Science Foundation (DEB 1419394).

N2 - A new species, Onchidium melakense Dayrat & Goulding, sp. nov., is described, bringing the total to four known species in the genus Onchidium Buchannan, 1800. Onchidium melakense is a rare species with only nine individuals found at three mangrove sites in the Andaman Islands and the Strait of Malacca (western Peninsular Malaysia and eastern Sumatra). The new species is delineated based on mitochondrial (COI and 16S) and nuclear (ITS2 and 28S) DNA sequences as well as comparative anatomy. Each Onchidium species is characterized by a distinct color and can easily be identified in the field, even in the Strait of Malacca where there are three sympatric Onchidium species. An identification key is provided. In addition, Onchidium stuxbergi (Westerlund, 1883) is recorded for the first time from eastern Sumatra, and Onchidium pallidipes Tapparone-Canefri, 1889, of which the type material is described and illustrated here, is regarded as a new junior synonym of O. stuxbergi.
