Aeolus (slekt)

* 

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

## Utseende
Nokså små (gjerne 4 - 8 millimeter), avlange, gjerne rødlige smellere med svarte tegninger. Kroppen er fint hårete. Antennene er trådformede og nokså korte.

**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
Larvene lever i jorda. Disse artene finnes gjerne på gressmarker.

## Utbredelse
Slekten er utbredt i Amerika fra Canada i nord til Argentina i sør.
