Ariophanta laevipes is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusc in the family Ariophantidae.

The shell is depressed, rather thin, obliquely striated and decussated with fine spiral lines above, smooth beneath.

But some shells have the ground-colour brownish with darker bands, and some are white or dark brown throughout.

The parietal wall of the aperture and the area around the umbilicus are never darker than the adjacent portion of the last whorl.

The eight inner laterals are bicuspid and broad, forming a narrower median line than in other species of the genus, i.e. 17 teeth to 45 in the latter.

[1] The egg of Ariophanta laevipes is elliptical, longitudinally sulcated, enclosed in a tough membrane, and 4 to 5 mm in length, 4-4.5 in diameter.
