Lopheliella rockallensis is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Skeneidae.[2]
The species is described as having a cyrtoconoid outline, with a height of 2.7 mm, width 2.3 mm and an elevated convex spire with slightly inflated, regularly growing whorls, averaging 4.5 in number.[3]
Specimens were recovered from water at depths between 500 and 1500 metres in a small rectangle on the southeastern flank of the Rockall Bank in the North Atlantic Ocean.[3]
