The pair below was observed near Padangbai.

The next two photos show an individual from Batuniti.

On an egg mass at Baturinggit.

The one below was seen under a rock on the slope at Tulamben, Bali.

This one was found at Melasti. While the shell looks smooth enough to be Staphylaea limacina, the mantle looks more like S. staphylaea.
