***Saprosites*** er en slekt av biller som hører til familien skarabider (Scarabaeidae).

## Utseende
Små (1,5 - 7 millimeter), slanke, litt flate, blanke eller halvmatte, rødbrune til svarte gjødselbiller. Hodet er stort og bredt, forkanten litt innbuktet i midten. Hode og pronotum er fint punktert, dekkvingene har rader av grove punkter. Pronotum er rektangulært sett ovenfra, dekkvingene jevnbrede, beina ganske korte.

## Levevis
Svært lite er kjent om biologien til denne slekten, og larvene er ukjente. Voksen biller har blitt funnet under råtnende stokker, under bark på døde trær, og mellom løvstrø.

## Utbredelse
Slekten er utbredt i varme områder over hele Jorda.
