Description
Back to top

Microparmarion exquadratus is a semi-slug found in Sabah. The body is dull with greyish pink colour. It differs from other species by its small size, pigmentation on head and tail, and shape of dart sac and receptaculum. It is known to occur in lowland dipterocarp forest at around 240 m a.s.l. The species epithet is referring to the ‘squat’ of participants who got this species during night-time walks in the forest (Schilthuizen et al., 2019).
