Dear Sam,
This could be Plocamopherus tilesii but I suspect it is a dark form of P. ceylonicus. I am afraid your photos don't give me a clear view of either end of the body, both of which have features which could be useful. The papillae around the head end of the mantle are compound in P. tilesii and the keel at the posterior end is quite pronounced.

On a different matter, your message lacked all capital letters, and any useful locality data. I don't want the Forum to descend into the style of text messaging on mobile phones, so I'll use your message as an example to others. Please use capital letters and other normal sentence construction. I don't really want to spend my time doing this sort of editing - every minute I spend doing editing is time I can't spend answering questions
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
