Zospeum manitaense is a cave-dwelling species of air-breathing land snail.
It is transparent, smooth and has a conical shape with 4.75–5.25 whorls and a deep suture.
The parietal wall (parietalis) is weak or totally absent in the opening (aperture).
The parietal shield is well defined with a straight margin and is well differentiated from the rest of the lip.
[1] The species is named after the Croatian type locality, cave Manita peć, located in Paklenica National Park.
