Taxonomy
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]
Ecology
This species is freshwater snail living in mountain streamlets.[1]
