The new species is closest to Superodontella lolae (Simón, 1978) from Spain, having the same type of labium and body chaetotaxy, small anal spines and lack of empodium. They differ in the number of sensilla on antennal segment IV (13 – 14 sensilla in the new species, 9 in S. lolae), and in size of the postantennal organ (1.3 – 1.4 times larger than ocellus B in the new species, and of equal size in S. lolae according to Simón 1978).

The new species is closest to Superodontella huculica by the similar type of labium and labrum, the type of chaetotaxy and the rudimental empodium, the presence of the tooth on claw, the number of sensilla on antenna IV.

S. ruta sp. nov. is also similar to S. nana Cassagnau, 1954 sensu Jordana et al.
