Armilimax (meaning 'armoured slug') is an extinct genus of shell-bearing slug-like animal known from a single specimen found in an exposed portion of the Spence Shale in the Wellsville Mountains in Box Elder County, Utah. As such, its morphology is ambiguous; it bears a seemingly U-shaped gut and, at the opposite end of its body, a shell without an apex. It has been tentatively interpreted as resembling Halkieria, but it does not contain sclerites. It is the first of its kind in the Great Basin.[1] Only one species is known: Armilimax pauljamisoni.
