  Type species:

   Macrostomum miraculicis Schmidt & Sopott-Ehlers, 1976 by original designation.

Introduction

Brand et al. (2022) suggests that the Bradburia is a poorly supported genus based on diagnostic traits, and that future genetic analyses may well reveal that its two species, B. miraculicis and B. australiensis, resolve well within Macrostomum.
