Siphopteron nakakatuwa is a tiny headshield slug described from the Philippines in 2017. Its name comes from a Tagalog word meaning funny or amusing.

Like other Siphopteron, it is only a few millimetres long, with wing-like flaps and a short siphon at the rear. It lives on algae and sand where it hunts tiny prey.

In the Philippines it is found on shallow sandy and rubble areas and needs a very close look to spot.
