Leiocithara apollinea is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Mangeliidae. [1]
The length of the shell attains 5 mm, its diameter 1.75 mm.
This white shell is a scalate Leiocithara .It has an ovate fusiform shape and contains 5 whorls. It is principally conspicuous for its thickened longitudinal ribs, 9–10 in number on the body whorl. The interstices are quite smooth. One spiral keel alone, a little below the sutures, crosses the ribs at right angles, and at the point of junction bears a beaded point. The aperture is oblong and becomes narrower at its base. The outer lip is incrassate. [2]
