Testacella haliotidea and T. scutulum are said to be yellower than T. maugei.

Nice find! I've never found a shelled slug yet. If you can get a pic why not post it on the Slug or snail of the day thread? That thread has been too quiet for too long and needs livening up!

Something that's been on my "want to see" list for some years.
Look forward to seeing your pic.
