Bougisia is a genus of plankton in the sub-order Hyperiidea–a type of so-called "hyperid" amphipoda.

[1][2] The genus Bougisia is the only subordinate taxon in the monotypic family Bougisidae.

This species lives as plankton in tropical and sub-tropical salt water.

The taxonomy of the genus Bougisia is complicated, has been revised on a number of occasions, and different group affiliation is possible.

[3] A modern updating of the system is based on the 2013 revision with its basis in the WoRMS-database.
