Hamond (1987) observed that old species descriptions and drawings of Canthocamptidae do not always agree with modern description standards and, in many cases, such defective descriptions could greatly confuse the status of some genera and subgenera in this family; in the same occasion, suggested the retention of many genera within the family Canthocamptidae, including Elaphoidella s. str., in the genus Canthocamptus Westwood.

Hamond's statement has been recently supported by Reid (1990) and Hishida (1994). Particularly, the latter author described a new Elaphoidella from Nepal showing transitional characteristics between Elaphoidella and Attheyella, confirming as well the need of a World revision of the genera within the family Canthocamptidae (left: C. clavifurcatus). |
Ito & Takashio (1980) and Chang & Ishida (2001) pointed out a Canthocamptus mirabilis group, first identified as "Attheyella-like Canthocamptus", including the following species:C. mirabilis, C. morimotoi, C. prominulus, C. semicirculus, C. resupinatus, C. odaeensis, C. tomikoae and C. incurvisetosus.
