Austropeplea huonensis is a species of air-breathing freshwater snail in the family Lymnaeidae.
Description The length of the shell attains 8 mm, its diameter 4.5 mm.
(Original description) The shell is remarkably thin, pellucid, and possesses a brilliant, shining luster. It is ventricose in shape and displays a pale, horny coloration. The overall profile is rather straight, leading to a spire that is notably short and acute.
There are four whorls in total, with the penultimate whorl being distinctly rounded. The body whorl is large and exhibits a concave area situated behind the columella. The aperture is ovate and somewhat produced in its form.
The outer lip is very thin and sharp, while the inner lip appears expanded. The columellar fold is twisted, and the columella itself is gracefully arched.
Distribution This species is endemic to Australia and occurs on Tasmania.
