The Batrisitae are a group of pselaphine beetles in which the sides of the abdomen are rounded (Newton et al. 2001).
Characters (Newton et al. 2001): Prothorax lacking median prosternal foveae. Elytra lacking discal foveae. Dorsal margin of mesotrochanter shorter than apical trochanter width, mesotrochanter nearly triangular. Second and third tarsomeres much longer than basal tarsomere. Abdomen rounded laterally, lateral margins of paratergites usually smoothly fused with sterna, often present as short basal carinae on first tergite, mesal margins usually present as carinae on first four visible tergites.
