Platevindex tigrinus is a species of air-breathing sea slug, a shell-less marine pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Onchidiidae.[1]

Description[edit]

This species has a light grey hyponotum like Platevindex coriaceus and can hardly be distinguished from that species, except by examining the internal anatomy or genome.[2]

Distribution[edit]

The species occurs in Brunei, India (Andaman Islands, Maharashtra and West Bengal), Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore, and Southern China.[2]
