Taxonomic remark This species may or may not be the same as Coelastrella levicostata Korshikov, 1953. From Kaufnerová & Eliáš, 2013: the question of the position of this species open. If future investigations are able to define the actual phylogenetic position of S. levicostata and C. [=Coelastrella] levicostata, several alternative taxonomic situations may happen with respect to S. levicostata: (1) it will be recombined to the genus Coelastrella as C. levicostata; (2) it will be recombined into the genus Coelastrella with a new species epithet in case it is found to represent a species different from Korshikov’s C. levicostata; (3) it is recombined into another existing genus; (4) it will be called Scotiellocystis levicostata (Gollerbach) Fott in case it is found to represent a genus of its own.
