The genus Ukamenia Oku (1981) was proposed with Simaethis sapporensis Matsumura (1931) from Japan as its type species, which had been originally described in the family Choreutidae. Oku (1981) based the new genus on characters of S. sapporensis that were typical of Tortricidae rather than Choreutidae, notably the naked haustellum (scaled in Choreutidae), among many other characters differing between the two families, such as wing venation, head morphology, and genital form. Oku (1981) assigned his new genus to the tribe Olethreu-tini, but mentioned that it resembled the genus Gatesclarkeana Diakonoff, 1966. In her extensive study of Australian Olethreutinae, Horak (2006) briefly noted Ukamenia as being referable to Gateclark-eanini.
奥库(1981年)提出了乌卡梅尼亚属,其模式种为来自日本的松村氏姬小卷蛾(1931年),该种最初被描述于巢蛾科。奥库(1981年)将这个新属建立在松村氏姬小卷蛾具有卷蛾科而非巢蛾科典型特征的基础上,特别是裸露的喙管(巢蛾科有鳞片),以及两个科之间许多其他不同的特征,如翅脉、头部形态和生殖器形态。奥库(1981年)将他的新属归入油小卷蛾族,但提到它与1966年的盖茨克拉克卷蛾属相似。在对澳大利亚油小卷蛾亚科的广泛研究中,霍拉克(2006年)简要指出乌卡梅尼亚属可归入盖茨克拉克卷蛾族。
