Abstract

Sabatieria is the most abundant nematode genus on the Campos Basin continental slope. Two new species are described here. Sabatieria exilis sp. n. has a small rounded head and a narrow pharynx with a cuticularized anterior end. Sabatieria fidelis sp. n. has a short outstretched testis, spicules directed ventrally and shaped like the tip of a dropper, the gubernaculum with a v-shaped cuticularized area in the distal part, short cephalic and somatic setae, and a longer tail.
