The genus Septocellula was first described in 1981 by Hong Youchong [zh], who assigned to it three species: Septocellula asiatica, Septocellula fera and Septocellula trichopoda. In 2002, the latter two species were transferred by Hong to their own genera – Orbilabia and Wangia (later renamed Fushuniregis), respectively.^[1][2][3]
