Sachites (Meshkova 1969) is an extinct genus of halkeriid that is only known from fossilised spiny sclerites; many Sachites specimens are now referred to as other halkieriid taxa.[1] Although believed to be related to the halkieriids,[2] a chancelloriid affinity has more recently been proposed.[3]
Sachites has seven species; the type species Sachites longus was named and described in 1977.[4]
