Cyclostrema carinatum is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Liotiidae.[1][2]
The diameter of the shell is 2.5 mm. The solid shell is widely umbilicated, with regular, angular spiral carinae. The interstices are radiately sculptured. The 4 whorls are convex and rapidly increasing. The last whorl is dilated in front. The aperture is subcirciilar. The peristome is thickened and subcontinuous.[3]
