The genus forms part of the Rhipicephalinae subfamily, along with Dermacentor, Margaropus, Rhipicephalus, Hyalomma and Nosomma. There are no records of Rhipicentor human parasitism, but R. nuttalli can cause tick paralysis in dogs.

Panonychus is a genus of spider mites in the family Tetranychidae. There are about 16 described species in Panonychus.

Maudheimia is a genus of oribatid mite, the only one in the family Maudheimiidae. All species within this genus are native to continental Antarctica. Adults generally measure around 0.6–0.7 mm in length with a lightly hardened exoskeleton compared to many other oribatid mites. They occupy ice-free areas, called nunataks, in continental Antarctica, typically found under stones, in thin soils, and among moss or lichen patches.

Nuttalliella is genus of tick. It contains a single living species, Nuttalliella namaqua found in southern Africa, having been reported from Tanzania, Namibia and South Africa, with fossil species of the genus having been reported from the mid-Cretaceous (~100 million years ago) Burmese amber of Myanmar.' It is the only living member of the family Nuttalliellidae''', and the most primitive living lineage of tick. It can be distinguished from ixodid ticks and argasid ticks by a combination of characteristics including the position of the stigmata, lack of setae, strongly corrugated integument,

Deuteronymphs are characterized by two orange dorsal shields and in many species a transverse band on the sternal shield. The juvenile development consists of a larval stage (three pairs of legs), protonymph, and deuteronymph, but no tritonymph. Females are smaller than males. Males guard female deuteronymphs shortly before these mate, and pairs mate venter-to-venter.
