Familia Anobiidae
General information


Most authors also include in this family the former separate family Ptinidae. From morphological data both groups are very similar and their unification in a single family seems justified. However, the recent molecular analysis by Hunt et al. (2007) suggests that they really are two separate families. For the time being, I retain the Anobiidae in the wider sense (including the Ptinidae) until conclusive evidence is available.
