Pumilicopta was introduced by Solem (1989) for two species of pupillid with very complex apertural barriers. Pokryszko (1996) reduced the taxon to subgeneric rank within Gastrocopta and introduced an additional species from northern Australia. Stanisic et al. (2010) reinstated the taxon to generic rank.
