Reimeria sinuata has biseriate striae, while R. uniseriata has uniseriate striae and larger areolae (easily discernible in LM). The valves of R. sinuata are smaller and have a slightly different shape than those of R. uniseriata, R. sinuata f. antiqua, and R. lacus-idahoensis. R. sinuata f. antiqua has capitate ends; R. lacus-idahoensis is an extinct species with considerably larger valves (8-11 um wide).
