The Bradyporinae are a subfamily in the family Tettigoniidae (bush crickets or katydids), based on the type genus Bradyporus. First described as a family, "Bradyporidae" (Burmeister, H., 1838), the first use as Bradyporinae was by Brunner von Wattenwyl in 1878.^[1]

Genera in this subfamily are mostly distributed in Europe, North Africa, through to temperate/subtropical Asia.^[2]
