Considering the geographic distribution of these mites and the disparate host bird orders, the monophyly of the genus and species boundaries should be investigated using molecular markers and morphometric analyses.

Out of 138 common nighthawks examined for this study since 1999, nasal mites were collected from only one. The conservation status of this mite certainly deserves consideration.
