Zorochros

Zorochros er en slekt av biller som hører til familien smellere (Elateridae).

Utseende 
Små (1,5 - 4 millimeter), litt brede, blankt svarte smellere, kan ha gulaktige flekker på dekkvingene. Antennene er trådformede og ikke svært lange. Pronotum er omtrent så langt som bredt, hvelvet med rundede sider. Dekkvingene har fine punktstriper.

Larvene er sylindriske, glatte med en voksaktige overflate og spredte hår, gjerne rød- eller gulaktige. Hodet er noe flatt med fremoverstrakte kjever. Det bakerste leddet har vanligvis et par kraftige utvekster av varierende form. Beina er ganske korte.

Levevis 
Disse artene lever mest på elvebredder, der de ofte er tallrike.

Utbredelse 
Sleketn er utbredt i den palearktiske sone.
