cylindrical crosshead screw

a crosshead screw is often also referred to as a "Philips" screw. In your case the addition of the term "cilindrica" is to distinguish the screw from the dome-headed type.

neutral Jo Macdonald : Hi Tom, can you give any examples of that? OK for Philips screwdriver, screw etc. Don't really agree with cylindrical.

Here's one example. The head is "cylindrical" i.e. flat. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_F._Phillips

Here's a detailed description from a screw company
Phillips, Torx® and square pan heads have a rounded top surface, cylindrical sides and a flat bearing surface.

Tom, your Wikipedia reference is just about a Philips screw and as far as I can see says nothing about cylindrical. You can have a Philips (cross) on a square head screw or many other kinds.
Also, methinks the top may be flat but can't be cylindrical, the side are cylindrical rather than hex, flat or square, see
