According to the molecular analyses of 18S ribosomal RNA, 28S ribosomal RNA, 16S ribosomal RNA, and cytochrome-c oxidase I (COI) genes by Kameda & Kato (2011) [1] Fukuia ooyagii should be separated from Fukuia , and its generic assignment should be determined coupled with the investigation of its soft-part morphology. [1] The most closely related genus is Blanfordia . [1]

Distribution

This species is endemic to the northern part of Honshu, Japan. [1]
