Oenopota declivis is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Mangeliidae.^[1]

Description

The length of the shell varies between 9 mm and 20 mm.

The characters of this shell are close to Oenopota cinerea (Møller, 1842), but the shell is longer in the spire and narrower, with slightly stronger shoulder, fewer ribs and revolving striae. The sculpture is cancellated. The aperture is broadly truncate below.^[2]
