''Sarasinula plebeia'', commonly called the bean slug or the Caribbean leatherleaf slug, is a species of air-breathing land slug, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Veronicellidae, the leatherleaf slugs. As of November 2012, some websites and databases (including the ITIS entry) have a species listed as "''Sarasomia plebeia''" by the same author. ==Distribution== ''Sarasinula plebeia'' was originally discovered and described under name ''Vaginulus plebeius'' by French zoologist Paul Henri Fischer from New Caledonia in 1868.〔 The type locality is New Caledonia.〔 The distribution of ''Sarasinula plebeia'' includes: * Cuba〔Maceira D. F. (2003). "Las especies de la familia Veronicellidae (Mollusca, Soleolifera) en Cuba". ''Revista de Biología Tropical'' 51(3): 453-461. (PDF ).〕 * Jamaica〔 * Saint Martin, Leeward Islands〔Forcart L.

''Fieldiana'' 51(12): (147 )-156.〕 This species is already established in the USA, and is considered to represent a potentially serious threat as a pest, an invasive species which could negatively affect agriculture, natural ecosystems, human health or commerce. Therefore it has been suggested that this species be given top national quarantine significance in the USA.〔Cowie R. H., Dillon R. T., Robinson D. G. & Smith J. W. (2009).
