It can be proved that the number and the trend of wings are the most diverse features. Sc. cryophyla corresponds to Sc. cryophyla var. groenlandica and Sc. polyptera var. polymantii; Sc. nivalis var. nipponica agrees with Sc. nivalis var. californica and Sc. norvegica; Sc. nivalis var. californica corresponds to Sc. norvegica; Sc. antarctica agrees with Sc. palustris; Sc. tatrae agrees with Sc. polyptera var. magellanica; Sc. nivalis var. nipponica, Sc. nivalis var. californica and Sc. terrestris correspond to four or five other Scotiella species by their cell ribbing. According to Tables 2, 3 and 4, Sc. nivalis var. nipponica agrees with Sc. norvegica, Sc. polyptera corresponds to Sc. polyptera var. polymantii; and Sc. levicostata agrees with Sc. oboviformis, because no difference is found in their basic morphological features. Moreover, Sc. norvegica, Sc. nivalis var. nipponica, Sc. polyptera and Sc. polyptera var. polymantii are cryobiont, the Sc. levicostata and Sc. oboviformis are aerophytic species.
