Rathouisia leonina
''Rathouisia leonina'' is a species of carnivorous air-breathing land slug, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Rathouisiidae. This species is endemic to China.
This slug is carnivorous and actively preys on snails. It is usually grayish brown to dark gray in color with scattered black spots on the upper surface of the body. The bottom surface of the foot is a light reddish brown. These slugs inhabit environments with high humidity and shade, such as foothills and city gardens, although they are rarely seen.
==Taxonomy==
''Rathouisia leonina'' was first described by the French missionary and zoologist Pierre Marie Heude in 1882. It is the type species of the genus ''Rathouisia'', which was named in honor of the Jesuit Père Charles Rathouis who made the original drawings of the specimens for Heude.〔 Heude P. M. (1882–1890).

(page 10 ), (plate 13 ), fig. 2, (page 100 ), (page 131 ), (plate 32 ).〕〔Wu M., Guo J.-Y., Wan F.-H., Qin Q.-L., Wu Q. & Wiktor A. (2006).

The specific name ''leonina'' is from Latin word "''leo''", which means lion, referring to the predatory nature of the slug.
