Athous orvus
Hairy-edged Click Beetle
Athous orvus is a click beetle described by Becker in 1974 from eastern North America. It is known from a broad range spanning Nova Scotia to Michigan to Virginia. The species is one of two new Athous species described in the 1974 revision of Nearctic species east of the Rocky Mountains. As a member of the Elateridae, it possesses the family's characteristic prosternal process that enables the clicking mechanism used for righting itself when overturned.

It is one of six species newly described in the 1974 revision of the genus Dibolia for North America north of Mexico.
