Two genera, Miltha H. & A. Adams, 1853 and Eomiltha Cossmann, 1912 , remain and the status of the subfamily is unresolved pending inclusion of any of the three living species in molecular analysis. Despite the name, shell characters of Eomiltha have little similarity to Miltha and any relationship is doubtful. In the following section we introduce a new genus name for the living species usually called Eomiltha voorhoevei together with an antecedent species from the Eocene. To provide background to this decision we briefly review Eomiltha below.
