Scarites er en slekt av billene i delgruppen (underfamilien) graveløpere (Scaritinae) i familiegruppen løpebiller.
Utseende Store (opptil 50 millimeter), langstrakte, blanke, oftest svarte løpebiller. Hodet er stort og mer eller mindre rektangulært, med forstørrede, svært kraftige mandibler (overkjever). Fasettøynene er små og rundede, antennene trådformede og nokså korte. Pronotum er mye bredere enn langt, bakover kraftig innsnevret slik at det danner seg en markert "stilk" mellom pronotum og dekkvingene, scutellum sitter på denne. Dekkvingene er parallellsidige med dype punktstriper. Beina er korte og kraftige.
Levevis Som andre Scaritinae lever disse billene hovedsakelig underjordisk. De graver godt, og lever som rovdyr.
Utbredelse Denne artsrike slekten er representert i alle verdensdeler bortsett fra Antarktis, men mangler i Nord-Europa.
