Dear Daisuke,

Thanks very much for this photo. It is certainly the animal I have called Aglajid sp. 6. As I said about the earlier message from Malaysia, we will need to know something about its anatomy before we can even be sure which Family it belongs to. I am sure it has an internal shell. In earlier times species were often named just from the shape of their shell, so it is possible this animal has a name, but until we can see what the hidden shell in your animal looks like we won't be able to say if it already has a name or not.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
