Compare Encyonema pergracile
Encyonema lunatum is smaller in both length and width, and has broadly rounded ends. Encyonema neogracile is very similar, but is more narrow and smaller in length. Encyonema pseudogracile has a relatively broad axial area. Encyonema supergracile is the largest (length 54-74 µm, width 8.5-10.6 µm) of the E. gracile complex and was described from Columbia. Encyonema subgracile is smaller than E. pergracile, lacks a stigma and was described from Australia.
