Agriotes

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

Utseende 
Middelsstore, litt brede, brunlige til svarte smellere. Antennene er gjerne sagtakkede, pronotum hvelvet med rundede sider, hårete.

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 
De voksne billene flyr godt og treffes ofte flygende, på blomster eller i vegetasjonen. Agriotini har larver som lever i jorda og noen kan gjøre betydelig skade på planterøtter.

Utbredelse 
Slekten er utbredt i Nord-, Mellom- og Sør-Amerika, Asia og Europa.
