Microglyphis globularis is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Ringiculidae.
Description The length of the shell attains 4 mm, its diameter 2 mm.
(Original description in Latin) The shell is small, globular, and thin, with a snow-white coloration. It consists of four and a half whorls; the first three are small and slightly convex, separated by a lightly channeled suture, while the body whorl is large and globose. All the whorls are sculpted with very fine spiral grooves.
The aperture is somewhat large and sub-pyriform, equaling nearly two-thirds of the total length of the shell. The columella is covered by a thin, wide callus that extends above the whorl, and it is obliquely truncated toward the base. The outer lip is thin and simple.
Distribution This marine species occurs off Japan.
