Gosliner et al. (2007)[2] have elevated Babakinidae to the family level with the only genus Babakina.

There are four species within the genus Babakina:[7]
- Babakina anadoni(Ortea, 1979)[2]
- Babakina caprinsulensis(Miller, 1974)[2]
- Babakina festiva(Roller, 1972) - type species[2]
- Babakina indopacificaGosliner, Gonzáles-Duarte & Cervera, 2007[2]
