Euplectus

* 

***Euplectus*** er en gruppe (slekt) av biller som hører til underfamilien køllebiller (Pselaphinae) i den store familien kortvinger (Staphylinidae).

## Utseende
Små (1-3 millimeter lange), avlange biller med korte dekkvinger. På farge er de gjerne mer eller mindre rødlige. De skiller seg fra de fleste andre køllebiller på sin slanke kroppsform. Hodet er omtrent firkantet med markerte bakhjørner, små, runde fasettøyne og groper i pannen. Antennene er middels lange og ganske kraftige, leddene bredere enn lange. De tre ytterste leddene danner en løs kølle, særlig det siste leddet er forstørret. Pronotum er omtrent så langt som bredt, med rundede sider, bredest litt foran midten. Det har gjerne noen små groper. Dekkvingene er rundede, glatte, uten punktstriper, og ganske korte. Bakkroppen er sylindrisk, beina ganske korte med tre-leddete føtter.

## Levevis
De kan blant annet finnes under barken på døde trær.
