Alopia canescens is a species of small, tropical, air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Clausiliidae.

[1] The length of the shell varies between 13 mm and 14 mm, its diameter is 4 mm.

(Original description in Latin) It differs from Alopia livida straminicollis (Charpentier, 1852), to which it is very similar in appearance, by having a more constricted, somewhat turreted-fusiform shell, entirely smooth and frosted.

It lacks palatal folds.

[2] This species occurs in Romania.
