早期修订的分类学钝钩raillietiellid pentastomids感染小蜥蜴承认6，大多是很好的特点，物种。Raillietiella mabuiae，马布河草R. maculatus和R.重新检查半指。一个额外的诊断特征，男性交配骨针的形式，证实了这些物种的地位。另一个形态上非常相似的物种，来自南美洲石龙子的Travassostulida freitasi，被Motta和Gomes（1968）归于Travassostulida新属。这种分离没有理由，该物种被重新命名为R。freitasi comb. nov.其他南美洲和中美洲的钝钩壁虎物种与某些非洲和东南亚的形式难以区分。这些可能是新物种，但由于它们的宿主已经通过商业传播，它们仍然没有命名：在确认它们的地位之前需要更多的标本。描述了3个新种：R.一种澳大利亚石龙子，R. monarchus感染东南亚壁虎和R.斑唇石龙子来自非洲石龙子钩的大小，环数和男性交配骨针的形式的适当组合形成的主要诊断标准，这些物种可以识别。该分类群现在包括10个种。是第二大的属内的第二大。
Earlier revisions of the taxonomy of blunt-hooked raillietiellid pentastomids infecting small lizards recognized 6, mostly well characterized, species. Raillietiella mabuiae, R. maculatus and R. hemidactyi are re-examined. An additional diagnostic character, the form of the male copulatory spicule, confirms the status of these species. Another, morphologically very similar species, Travassostulida freitasi from a South American skink, was ascribed to the new genus TRAVASSOSTULIDA by Motta and Gomes (1968). There is no justification for this separation and the species is renamed R. freitasi comb. nov. Other South and Central American blunt-hooked species from geckos are indistinguishable from certain African and Southeast Asian forms. These may be new species but because their hosts have been disseminated through commerce they remain unnamed: more specimens are required before their status can be confirmed. Three new species are described; R. scincoides infects an Australian skink, R. monarchus infects a Southeast Asian gecko and R. maculilabris comes from an African skink. Appropriate combinations of hook size, annulus number and the form of the male copulatory spicule form the principal diagnostic criteria by which these species can be recognized. The taxon now embraces 10 spp. of blunt-hooked raillietiellids and is the 2nd largest within the genus Raillietiella.
