'''''Cymbiola''''' is a genus of large predatory sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the subfamily Amoriinae of the family Volutidae, the volutes.<ref name="WoRMS">Bail, P. (2010). Cymbiola Swainson, 1831. In: Bouchet, P.; Gofas, S.; Rosenberg, G. (2010) World Marine Mollusca database. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=382352 on 2011-04-09</ref>

Some of the species within this genus are sometimes placed in the genus ''Cymbiolacca'' Iredale, 1929, which is also sometimes treated as a subgenus of ''Cymbiola''.

==Description== The thin shell is ovate and cymbiform. The spire is more or less produced. The apex is papillary (forming a rounded, bulbous tip) and somewhat irregular. The aperture is wide. The inner lip shows a thin callus. The columella contains a few oblique plaits at the fore part. The acute outer lip is often somewhat dilated.<ref>[https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/3782650 Adams, H. & Adams, A. (1853-1858).
