However, the Chao Phraya River of the basin than runs through the province of Ayutthaya actually is under the influence of the tide year round. The salt front (brackish water) goes up to 75 and 175 kilometers from the river mouth in the wet and dry seasons, respectively, and it was even more so the case in the past when the river side was still not developed (syntypes collected by M. Bocourt in 1862 according to the label of the type material). In the province of Ayutthaya, the river is approximately at its kilometer 140 (

(Fig. 10). Live animals are not always covered with mud and the color of their dorsum can normally be seen. The dorsum is brown, with no particular pattern. Exceptionally, it can be almost black. The hyponotum varies between grayish and yellowish, and sometimes even greenish. It occasionally bears conspicuous black dots. The foot is bright orange, which is different from the two other species described here. In a tiny specimen (12 mm in length, St. 195/17), the foot was pale yellow. The long ocular tentacles are cream to brown distally, and darker proximally. The head is brown to black, with many evenly distributed white markings.

. The hollow spine does not open directly into the vestibule. Instead, the end of the tube of the accessory gland is a disc which is more or less flat (approximately 0.3 mm in diameter) and does not seem to bear distinct conical papillae. The hollow spine must thus go through that disc in order to be outside and shared with the partner.

penial sheath is long (to the posterior third of the visceral cavity) and coiled in a few spirals. In less mature individuals, the coils may not be as marked. The retractor muscle is short and inserts into the posterior third of the visceral cavity. There is an additional retractor muscle attaching the anterior portion of the penial sheath to the left wall of the visceral cavity, near the buccal mass. In some individuals, that left additional retractor muscle is very thick and strong. The deferent duct is highly convoluted with many loops, but less so in immature specimens.

Therefore, even though the brief and vague description may be confusing (because it is based on two different species), the illustration makes the identification absolutely clear, hence our decision to designate the illustrated specimen as the lectotype.
