Aforia hypomela is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Cochlespiridae.

Behind the carina, the shell is smoother with faint, barely raised spirals, which become sparser over the center of the fasciole than on either side.

The transverse sculpture consists of faint incremental lines, which rise into small wrinkles at the suture and occasionally cause undulations in the peripheral angulation on the apical whorls.

The thin, simple columella is twisted to form a pervious coil that extends the entire length of the axis.

The outer lip is thin and modified by the shell's sculpture, with a wide, shallow notch located halfway between the suture and the carina.
