## Summary

Bradybaena similaris, the Asian trampsnail, is a species of small land snail. It is a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusc in the subfamily Bradybaeninae of the family Camaenidae. It earned the common name based on its origins, and its habit of roosting on freight containers. This habit means that this may be one of the most broadly-distributed species of terrestrial snail in the world. Bradybaena similaris is the type species of the genus Bradybaena.
