How are the Wood-elves different from the elves in 'The Hobbit'?

Wood-elves are exactly the elses in The Hobbit. They are Thranduil's race, living in the North, west of the town called Dale during the Middle Earth. They use smaller bows, are lesser in stature than the folk of Lothlorien or Elrond's people, and quite detached from High Elves and the evles of the Gray Havens and Cirdan the Shipwright. Wood Elves are the ones that captured Bilbo's party until Bildo engineered their escape.
