Aliculastrum cylindricum, (common names: cylindrical atys, cylindrical true bubble, silkworm shell), is a species of gastropods belonging to the family Haminoeidae. [1] [2]
The length of the shell reaches 25.7 millimetres (1.01 in).
(Described as Bulla elongata) The shell is subcylindrical, tapering toward the anterior, with a white, slightly translucent, and glossy surface. It features transverse striations at both the anterior and posterior ends, while the central area is polished and smooth. The outer lip is prominently twisted and extended at the posterior end, while the inner lip is somewhat flattened toward the anterior, with a subtle fold. [3]
The marine species has a wide distribution and is found in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, the Red Sea, and off the coast of Australia. [2]
The order Cephalaspidea, also known as the headshield slugs and bubble snails, is a major taxon of sea slugs and bubble snails, marine gastropod mollusks within the larger clade Euopisthobranchia. Bubble shells is another common name for these families of marine gastropods, some of which have thin bubble-like shells. This clade contains more than 600 species.

Laonidae is a family of small marine snails belonging to the superfamily Philinoidea, though Laonidae and Philinoidea are genetically distinct. They are monophyletic, meaning they are developed from a single ancestor. Laonidae also has the synonymised name Laoninae, which is largely unaccepted in the modern day scientific community. The name Laoninae is introduced by Alice Pruvot-Fol who proposes it as the subfamily to the genea Loana, A.Adams 1865.
