Species belonging to the genera Schileykula and Orculella are indistinguishable based on shell characters only. They differ however in the genitalia, primarily in the presence (Orculella) or absence (Schileykula) of a penial appendix.[2] In Sch. batumensis and Sch. trapezensis the reproductive isolation is incomplete.[3]
