Subfamily Bradybaeninae Pilsbry, 1934
Introduction
This family of snails is native to eastern Asia. Several species have become world travellers, particularly in tropical areas. The only species known in Australia is introduced. It is fairly common in gardens and cultivated areas of some parts of the New South Wales and Queensland coast. This species is originally a native of China, but has spread to many tropical and subtropical regions of the world.
The family is characterized by the medium sized, flattened white shell, usually circumscribed by one or two thin brown lines.
