摘要：

Two large Elysia species have been described as specific for mangrove habitats over the last 20 years: E. leucolegnote Jensen, 1990 and E. bangtawaensis Swennen, 1998. They are usually found aggregated on soft mud without algae in shallow, shaded pools during low tide. Two more species are added in the present paper as E. singaporensis, new species, and E. bengalensis, new species. The four Elysia species are easily recognizable. External and internal characters of the four mangrove-associated Elysia spp. are depicted, together with some biological notes, suggesting two morphological groups similar in behaviour and habitat.
