Wollaston (Cat. Can. Col. p. 384) proposes the formation of a separate 
family for the genus Aylycydei'es (Westw.), which he says in some of its 
characters closely approaches the Anthribides, whilst in other respects it 
shows an affinity to Ilylastes and other Bostrichide genera. He considers the 
family to unite these groups with certain forms of Colydiidce.
