“…For example, the lateral teeth of Peronia specimens are straight and near-parallel to the rachidian axis, as opposed to those in Semperoncis montana and Platevindex mortoni, which are spatulate and tend to curve inward (Dayrat, 2010a: figs. 15-20;Zhang et al, 2017: fig. 3); or even Melayonchis onchidiids, which have a distinctive protuberance on the inner lateral margin of each lateral tooth that is insofar specific to that genus (Dayrat et al, 2017: figs.…”

“…Following precedents set by contemporary onchidiid studies (Dayrat 2010a(Dayrat , 2010bDayrat et al, 2011bDayrat et al, , 2016Dayrat et al, , 2017Zhang et al, 2017), the radula and male reproductive organs were targeted for SEM. These structures were prioritised as they have been shown to be the most informative traits for onchidiid systematics (Britton, 1984).…”

“…These problems notwithstanding, the last decade has seen a growing body of work focused on clarifying the status of various onchidiids, such as Semperoncis montana Plate, 1893 (Dayrat, 2010a), Onchidium vaigiense Quoy and Gaimard, 1824 (Dayrat, 2010b), Hoffmannola Strand, 1932and Onchidella Gray, 1850 in the Tropical Eastern Pacific (Dayrat et al, 2011b), Onchidium Buchannan, 1800 (Dayrat et al, 2016), Melayonchis Goulding, 2017 (Dayrat et al, 2017) and Platevindex mortoni Britton, 1984(Zhang et al, 2017. The study on Onchidium by Dayrat et al (2016) was noteworthy for being the first to apply an integrative taxonomic approach (see Dayrat, 2005) to show that distinct morphological differences observed are well-supported by molecular data in three species of Onchidium.…”

Recent years have seen an increase in the number of studies that use DNA sequence information in addition to morphological methods, as the latter alone can be inadequate for morphologically similar, cryptic species. Marine onchidiid slugs (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Onchidiidae), which commonly inhabit intertidal environments and have a near-global distribution, comprise 11 genera and 86 described species. Singapore has 19 recorded species of onchidiids with Peronia verruculata (Cuvier, 1830) being the most abundant. Here we present mitochondrial DNA sequence data from 63 P. verruculata-like specimens to show that they constitute two closely-related clades with distinct sequence signatures and a clear barcode gap. Intraclade distances are 0–1.8% while interclade distances range from 4.7 to 6.0%. Scanning electron microscopy of internal copulation organs reveals that the two clades have distinct penial and accessory gland spine structures, which also differ in size. Using an integrative taxonomic approach, we propose that what was initially thought to be P. verruculata in Singapore, actually are two different species of Peronia.

“…Members of the Onchidiidae, a family within the eupulmonate group Systellommatophora, have a widespread distribution and are quite common in the middle and upper intertidal zone, either in rocky, muddy or sandy habitats (Dayrat 2009;Zhang et al 2016). Most species are exclusively found in tropical and subtropical areas of the Indo-West Pacific (Wu et al 2010).…”

Peronia J. Fleming, 1822 is an eupulmonate slug genus with a wide distribution in the Indo-Pacific Ocean. Currently, nine species are considered as valid. However, molecular data indicate cryptic speciation and more species involved. Here, we present results on a new species found in the Persian Gulf, a subtropical region with harsh conditions such as elevated salinity and high temperature compared to the Indian Ocean. Peronia persiae sp. nov. is described based on molecular, histological, anatomical, micro-computer tomography and scanning electron microscopy data. ABGD, GMYC and bPTP analyses based on 16S rDNA and cytochrome oxidase I (COI) sequences of Peronia confirm the delimitation of the new species. Moreover, our 14 specimens were carefully compared with available information of other described Peronia species. Peronia persiae sp. nov. is distinct in a combination of characters, including differences in the genital (ampulla, prostate, penial hooks, penial needle) and digestive systems (lack of pharyngeal wall teeth, tooth shape in radula, intestine of type II).

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).
