Italian term

talpa

Italian to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering insulating panel findings
I presume here the **talpa** is some sort of borer but does anyone have an idea what the correct name is?
Tassello ad avvitamento con duplice possibilità d'uso: montaggio superficiale con tappo isolante inserito nella testa del tassello e montaggio a penetrazione con copritassello isolante in eps o lana di roccia. A richiesta "talpa" per pannello isolante.

P.S. the quotation marks were in the original text.
Proposed translations (English)

circular drill bit

OK I found the page you're translating here http://www.bemaonline.it/SCHEDE TECNICHE PER SITO/TERMO K8/T...
and using my nose and studying the drawing I worked out that it's one of these

but for drilling into insulation board, not concrete.

Using one of these you can bore a round hole in the insulation board, insert the fixing, and then insulate it by covering the head with a piece of circular insulating material.
