This species is reported as alien both in WORMS and in EASIN http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=670446 However, no specimens are known from outside the Mediterranean Sea, and its small shell sizes and difficult taxonomy should suggest to include it among cryptogenics, up to certain findings outside the Mediterranean Sea

Furthermore, recent Mediterranean records ascribed to Hinemoa cylindrica should refer to Oscilla galilae http://journals.tubitak.gov.tr/havuz/zoo-1405-78.pdf
