A recently discovered species of mangrove leaf slug, <em>Elysia bangtawaensis</em> Swennen, 1998 belonging to the superorder Sacoglossa and family Plakobranchidae of Phylum Mollusca, was recorded for the first time in Karnataka from the two mangrove sites, <em>viz</em>. Kodithale and Kannada Kudru of Udupi district. These mangrove leaf slugs were recorded from the tidal pools during post-monsoon and pre-monsoon seasons.</p>
