Zalipais inscripta is a species of minute sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Skeneidae.

The minute, very fragile shell has a discoidal shape.

The four whorls are convex, with a gentle antesutural slope.

The surface of the shell is smooth and shining, but incremental striae are visible under magnification.

The aperture is roundly oval, a little wider than high.
