incertae sedis'').
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.
Originally, a
monotypic genus containing the single species ''
Nakazawaea holstii'' but ''
Nakazawaea siamensis'' was added in 2011.
With further others added later.
The genus name of ''Nakazawaea'' is in honour of Dr. Ryoji Nakazawa, who was a Japanese
microbiologist
