Remarks
- Systematics: Subfamily DIASPIDINAE Tribe DIASPIDINI Subtribe FIORINIINA (Normark, et al., 2019)
Takagi (1970) stated Nikkoaspis is close to Kuwanaspis and also to Unachionaspis, presumably forming together with the latter two a peculiar phylogenetic stock. Kuwanaspis and Nikkoaspis are so close that Takahashi united them into a single genus. It is not easy to come to a definite conclusion concerning the distinctness of Nikkoaspis until various forms of the two genera have been compared in detail. However, Nikkoaspis seems to be boreo-montane in distribution, whereas Kuwanaspis occurs in a wide range from tropical lowlands to the temperate region. This trait in distribution, together with the peculiar body shape and numerous dorsal macroducts, may afford a basis to accept Nikkoaspis as valid.
