Elaphropus

Elaphropus er slekt av små løpebiller.

Utseende 
Små løpebiller, kroppsformen forholdsvis slank og oftest litt flat, overflaten oftest blank, fargen varierer fra brunrød til svart, dekkvingene ofte med lysere tegninger. Fasettøynene er gjerne forholdsvis store. Dekkvingene mangler eller har lite utviklede punktstriper. Som hos flere andre slekter av skyggeløpere er det ytterste ledden på maksillarpalpene redusert til en liten tapp.

Levevis

Utbredelse 
Slekten har en nær kosmopolittisk utbredelse, men i Europa bare lengst i sør.

Systematisk inndeling  
Slekten blir gjerne delt i 10 underslekter.
