Compare

Craticula accomoda differs from C. accomodiformis by smaller lengths and breadths, as well as a lower stria density. Craticula buderi is similar in size, but has a lower stria density and valves are more narrow than C. accomodiformis. Craticula halophila has a more angular valve margin and lower stria density.
