Taxonomy "Resembles S. rietschi Caullery, 1944 from Indonesia, found in about 1790 m depth, and recently redescribed by Sendall and Salazar-Vallejo (20 13). However, they differ in body wall pigmentation and on the relative development of shield's anterior keels; in S. piotrowskiae the body wall is whitish and anterior keels are very long, its central regions are often as long as the shield's anterior margins, whereas in S. rietschi the body wall is brownish, and the anterior keels are very short. On the other hand, S. piotrowskiae resembles S. thorsoni Sendall and Salazar-Vallejo, 2013 from the Arabic Sea, and found in 3-110 m depth, because both have posterior corners and a variable developed fan. These two species differ by the relative shape of the shield because the anterior keels are longer in S. piotrowskiae, surpassing the anterior margins, whereas they are shorter in S. thorsoni, and the fan margin is barely crenulated in S. piotrowskiae, whereas it is markedly crenulated in S. thorsoni."
