Dear Dong Bum,
Thanks for these interesting photos. This looks very like the black form we find in Australia, but your animal does not seem to have the white stripe, normally found in Australian specimens. It does however look very like Baba's illustration of Protaeolidiella atra. I still suspect this form, and the one in your other message, are colour forms of the same species, but I am not sure how easy it will be to determine.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
