Unknown 5 looks very much like this species, though it is about 10µm larger. It has a distinct flare to the aperture rim, which is wider than that of Unknown A. The easiest way to distinguish them quickly is to roll them; Unknown A will generally roll to expose the aperture, while Unknown 5 is stable on its side, as shown at left. |

Lepetodrilus spp. is about 10µm larger than Unknown A. It has pitted sculpture rather than reticulate and is also stable on its side. |
