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.
