Taxon description
Golubić et al., 2024
Key feature (diagnosis): S. curvata is characterized by its curved flag-like shape, usually occurring in forms with a plain, non-collared stalk, ca. 25 μm long, up to 15 μm wide and only 6 μm thick. Bending of the sporangial flag-shaped cavity correlates with neither the thickness of the shell nor with any discontinuity observed in the shell's architecture.
