We have treated all the material as the same species because we lack strong morphological evidence to separate them. However, the specimens exhibited a large size range, with the largest mites being from Mt Holdsworth (female 1420–1500; male 1260–1460) and the smallest from Limestone Downs (female 1150–1280; male 1110–1260). Apart from these ambiguous size differences, no other features separated collections from different host species and sites. Additionally, each of the three collection sites, confined to the North Island, are distant to one another: Limestone Downs (northwest coastal) and Maungatautari (central north) are somewhat close together, but Mt Holdsworth is in the central-south. Consequently it seems surprising that these mites, whose hosts are flightless carabid beetles and occur in isolated habitats, seem to represent the same species.

Many paramegistids are discoid, have smooth dorsal shields with numerous marginal setae, and extensive ventral shields, but these are probably independent adaptations to living on similar hosts.
