Type species
Nakazawaea holstii
(Wick.) Y.Yamada, K.Maeda & Mikata (1994)

In 2022, DNA analysis of Saccharomycotina yeasts noted that Peterozyma toletana, Peterozyma tannophilus and Nakazawaea holstii are in a monophyletic sister clade to the Pichiaceae family.[3]

Originally, a monotypic genus containing the single species Nakazawaea holstii but Nakazawaea siamensis was added in 2011.[4] With further others added later.[5]

The genus name of Nakazawaea is in honour of Dr. Ryoji Nakazawa, who was a Japanese microbiologist and Director of the Institute for Fermentation, Osaka, Japan, in recognition of his contributions to yeast taxonomy.[6]

The genus was circumscribed by Yuzo Yamada, Kojiro Maeda and Kozaburo Mikata in Biosc., Biotechn. Biochem. vol.58 (Issue 7) on page 1256 in 1994.[1]
