Iphinopsis fuscoapicata is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Cancellariidae, the nutmeg snails.[1]
Iphinopsis fuscoapicata is characterized by its slender, elongated shell, which is typically light in color with a brownish or dark apex. The shell often has a series of tightly coiled whorls, giving it a characteristic shape. It features distinct axial ribs that extend from the base to the apex, giving the shell a somewhat ridged texture. The length of the shell attains 8.9 mm.
