Abstract
In the Indo-West Pacific, intertidal slugs of the genus Platevindex Baker, 1938 are common in mangrove forests, where they typically live on the roots and trunks of mangrove trees. These slugs are easily distinguished from most onchidiids by their hard notum and narrow foot, but despite their large size and abundance, species diversity and geographic distributions have remained a mystery. With the aid of new collections from across the entire Indo-West Pacific, the taxonomy of Platevindex is revised using an integrative approach (natural history field observations, re-examination of type specimens, mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences, and comparative anatomy). In this monograph, nine species of Platevindex are recognized, including one new to science: P. amboinae (Plate, 1893), P. applanatus (Simroth, 1920) comb. nov., P. aptei Goulding & Dayrat sp. nov., P. burnupi (Collinge, 1902) comb. nov., P. coriaceus (Semper, 1880), P. latus (Plate, 1893), P. luteus (Semper, 1880), P. martensi (Plate, 1893) and P. tigrinus (Stoliczka, 1869) comb. nov. Five species names are recognized as junior synonyms, four of which are new, and two Platevindex names are regarded as nomina dubia. One new subspecies is also recognized: P. coriaceus darwinensis Goulding & Dayrat subsp. nov. Most species were previously known only from the type material and many new geographic records are provided across the Indo-West Pacific, from South Africa to the West Pacific (Japan, New Ireland and New Caledonia).

N1 - Funding Information: We would like to express our sincere thanks to everyone who assisted us with this project, by hosting us at their institutions, helping with logistics, or accompanying us in the field, without which this work would not have been possible. We would like to thank Vivian Ang, Don Dumale, and Marivene Manuel in the Philippines; Owen Griffiths in Mauritius, Richard Willan in Northern Territory, Niel Bruce in Queensland, Teddy Chua in Brunei, and Deepak Apte, Vishal Bhave, Reshma Pitale, Sudhir Sapre, and C.R. Sreeraj in India. We are grateful to Rahul C. Salunkhe and Yogesh Shouche (Bombay Natural History Society, Mumbai, and National Center for Cell Science, Pune) for their help with the DNA sequencing of the specimens from India, to Kenneth Hayes (Pacific Center for Molecular Biodiversity, Hawaii) for lab space and equipment to work on specimens from New Caledonia, and to Barbara Buge and Nicolas Puillandre for preparing the specimens collected during the MNHN expeditions which we used in our molecular studies. We also thank two undergraduate students, Rani Chapla and David Piperato, for their assistance with DNA extractions. We are grateful to Philippe Bouchet and Mary Cole for photographing and collecting the specimens from South Africa. We thank Philippe Bouchet for letting us study the onchidiids collected during MNHN expeditions in Papua New Guinea (Madang and Kavieng), Vanuatu, and New Caledonia. We also thank the collection managers of various institutions for accepting to host our material in their collections and who loaned us specimens for this taxonomic work: Bombay Natural History Society, Mumbai, India (BNHS); Brunei Darussalam Museum of Natural History, Brunei (BDMNH); East London Museum, East London, East Cape, South Africa (ELM); Institute of Tropical Biology, Zoology Collection, Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam (ITBZC); Muséum national d’histoire naturelle, Paris, France (MNHN); Museum of Tropical Queensland, Townsville, Queensland, Australia (MTQ); Natural History Museum, London, United Kingdom (NHMUK); KwaZulu-Natal Museum, Pietermaritzburg, South Africa (NMSA); Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia (NTM); National Museum of the Philippines, Manila, Philippines (PNM); Forschungsinstitut und Naturmuseum Senckenberg, Frankfurt-am-Main, Germany (SMF); Swedish Museum of Natural History, Stockholm, Sweden (SMNH); Universitas Malikussaleh, North Aceh, Sumatra, Indonesia (UMIZ); Universiti Sains Malaysia, Mollusk Collection, Penang, Malaysia (USMMC); Museum für Naturkunde, Berlin, Germany (ZMB) and Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum, National University of Singapore (ZRC). The ‘Our Planet Reviewed’-New Caledonia expedition (2016-2019) is a project of the MNHN in partnership with Conservatoire d’Espaces Naturels (CEN) de Nouvelle-Calédonie. The Koumac part of the expedition is/ was funded mainly by the Gouvernement de la Nouvelle-Calédonie, Province Nord, Agence Française de la Biodiversité (AFB), the Lounsbery Foundation, Office des Postes et Télécommunications (OPT), Maison de la Nouvelle-Calédonie, and in-kind support from Mairie de Koumac, Société Nationale de Sauvetage en Mer (SNSM), Régiment du Service Militaire Adapté (SMA) de Koumac, Base Navale de Nouméa, AirCalin, Avis Nouvelle-Calédonie, and Socalait. The expedition operated under a permit issued by Direction du Développement Economique et de l’Environnement (DDEE) of Province Nord. Our Planet Reviewed / La Planète Revisitée is a global initiative founded in 2007 by Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle (MNHN) and Pro-Natura International (PNI). The material from Vanuatu (Santo) and Papua New Guinea (Madang, Kavieng) was collected during the MNHN-PNI-IRD Our Planet Reviewed expeditions (PI: Philippe Bouchet), funded by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, Total Foundation, Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, Fondation EDF, Entrepose Contracting, and Fonds Pacifique. The expeditions operated under permits delivered by, respectively, the Environment Unit of the Government of Vanuatu, and the Papua New Guinea Department of Environment and Conservation. A research permit was awarded to Benoît Dayrat in Singapore (#NP/RP10-020). We thank the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education, Republic of Indonesia (Ristek-Dikti) that awarded a research permit to Benoît Dayrat (Ristek #134/SIP/FRP/E5/Dit.KI/VI/2017). We also wish to thank the Universitas Malikussaleh for being our home base institution in Indonesia. We greatly benefited from conversations with Philippe Bouchet about some complicated nomenclatural cases (all errors remaining are ours). This work was supported by the Eberly College of Science at the Pennsylvania State University and by a REVSYS (Revisionary Syntheses in Systematics) award from the US National Science Foundation (DEB 1419394).
