Cyclostrema eupoietum is a taxonomic name identifying a species of small marine gastropod mollusk. The term is not widely recognized in general encyclopedic literature, and detailed information regarding its biological characteristics, ecological role, and population status is limited.
The species was originally described by James Cosmo Melvill in 1904 in the publication Descriptions of twenty-three species of Gastropoda from the Persian Gulf, Gulf of Oman, and Arabian Sea. The type specimens were collected during dredging operations conducted by F.W. Townsend. Historically, the genus Cyclostrema has served as a "catch-all" taxon for various small, discoidal, or turbinate shells with circular apertures, many of which have since been reassigned to different genera within the families Liotiidae or Skeneidae.
Current malacological databases may list the species under alternative combinations, such as Liotia eupoicta, following taxonomic revisions that standardise gender endings or reassess generic placement based on shell morphology. Beyond its initial discovery in the Gulf of Oman and subsequent inclusion in taxonomic catalogs, there is a lack of peer-reviewed research regarding its physiology, diet, or reproductive habits.
