Alvania sculptilis is a species of small sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk or micromollusk in the family Rissoidae.

However, the genus Alvania as currently used has a very broad taxonomic extension, and these two species may very well end up in different genera when a robust phylogeny becomes available.

For the time being, it is thus advisable to keep using the invalid name Alvania sculptilis (May, 1920) for the Australian species.

It is smooth, yellowish, with dark colored punctate dots in spiral series, about six series on the body whorl.

[4] This rare species occurs in European waters (the Mediterranean Sea off Algiers and Greece) [5]
