Aderus é um género de escaravelhos polífagos da família Aderidae que se parecem às formigas. Foi nomeado por John Obadiah Westwood em 1829. A espécie-tipo é Aderus populneus (, 1796)
Estes insetos são xilófagos, isto é que as larvas vivem na madeira morta e se alimentam dela. A cada espécie parece especializada em colonizar uma ou umas poucas espécies de árvores e só numa verdadeira etapa de descomposição.
Os adultos procuram as flores, sobretudo nos árvores e arbustos em procura de polén e néctar que proporcionem a energia e a proteína que precisam para voar e encontrar um casal sexual. As fêmeas procuram madeira morta onde depositar ovos.
