Diagnosis. (Modified from Jensen (1979).) Cuticle usually punctuated with lateral differentiation of larger regular or irregular punctuations, but longitudinal rows not present. Cephalic sensilla in three distinct circles, with the third circle of setae longer than those of second circle. Buccal cavity cup-shaped, teeth absent. Spicules usually short and arcuate; gubernaculum with apophyses.

Sabatieria is a relatively large genus with over 104 species currently considered valid ( Gerlach & Riemann 1973, Botelho et al. 2009, Rosli et al. 2014, Guo et al. 2018, Bezerra et al. 2019).
