Railliet's name is honoured by several genera: Raillietia (Acari), Raillietina (Cestodes), Raillietascaris, Raillietnema and Raillietstrongylus (Nematodes), Raillietiella (Pentastomida), et the Acari family Raillietiidae.
Numerous species were named after Railliet, such as Amidostomum raillieti, Angiocaulus raillieti, Aspidodera raillieti, Conoweberia raillieti, Eucoleus raillieti, Haemostrongylus raillieti, Henryella raillieti, Onchocerca raillieti, Protostrongylus raillieti, Quasiamidostomum raillieti, and Thominx raillieti (Nematodes), Coccidium raillieti and Eimeria raillieti (Coccidia), Dibothriocephalus raillieti, Hilmylepis raillieti, Ichthyotoenia raillieti, Sparganum raillieti, and Synthetocaulus raillieti (Cestodes).
