Mandarina have been traditionally placed within Camaenidae.[2] Phylogenic study by Chiba (1999)[4] have found, that Mandarina is closely related to Euhadra (family Bradybaenidae) and that Mandarina have probably evolved from Euhadra.[2]
Distribution
editThe genus Mandarina is endemic to Ogasawara Islands.[2]
Description

Ecology
editMandarina live in various habitats including arboreal, semi-arboreal, ground habitats, wet habitats and dry habitats.[2]
