Afrocominella capensis, common name the elongate whelk, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc unassigned in the superfamily Buccinoidea.

In mature specimens, the outer lip is thickened and internally ridged, while the siphonal canal is short.

[2] (Description of Afrocominella capensis simoniana) The shell is fusiform and flesh-colored, with varying mottles and dashes of brown.

Additionally, the entire surface is adorned with fine, more or less regular punctate spiral striations.

The posterior angle of the aperture is acute, and the outer lip bears nine slender denticles just inside the margin.
