Apicalia inflata is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Eulimidae. [1]
The length of the shell (without protoconch) attains 6.25 mm, its diameter 3 mm.
(Original description) The shell's whorls exhibit a slightly irregular convexity; the penultimate whorl is somewhat contracted, while the body whorl is notably inflated and regularly convex. The aperture is relatively small, possessing a roundly oval shape and showing minimal obliquity. The outer lip maintains its position without retreating at the sutural margin. [2]
This marine species is endemic to Australia and occurs off South Australia, Tasmania and Victoria
