Turriplicifer apicitinctus is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk, in the family Costellariidae, the ribbed miters.

The suture is well marked, pinkish brown, retaining its color in the dead white shell, and prettily tinting its apex.

There are numerous transverse lines, three in the penultimate whorl, flattened, wider than the interstices which are scarcely more than incisions, crossing the ribs, but less valid there than in the intervening furrows.

The ongitudinal plicae are numerous, close-set, irregular in size and distance, degenerating into marked incremental striae towards the aperture.

Ornament: the color is greyish-white, a broad indistinct pinkish-brown subsutural band, maculated at intervals with deeper brown patches.
