The name of both the subfamily and the genus
Bradybaena are derived from the Greek words
bradus (= slow) and
baino (= walk), meaning "slow walker". Formerly considered as a separate family, molecular phylogenetic studies from 2007 showed that bradybaenids were closely related with the
Camaenidae, a family that they are now considered a subfamily of. In these studies both Bradybaenidae and
Camaenidae are mutually
polyphyletic, and together form a
monophyletic group. This finding suggested that the distinction between the clades was based essentially on the absence (Camaenidae) or presence (Bradybaenidae) of a
diverticulum, and was arbitrary. This anatomical structure was apparently lost (or was gained) in several groups in
convergence and is therefore not suitable for the delimitation of natural groups. '', one retracted and one active The following genera are recognized in the subfamily Bradybaeninae: • Tribe
