Platerodrilus ngi
Platerodrilus ngi is a species of net-winged beetle (Lycidae), which, as with other members of the genus, is considered a trilobite beetle. This common name refers to the larviform female's supposed resemblance to the extinct trilobites; in contrast, male trilobite beetles appear similar to other Lycids, being an extreme example of sexual dimorphism.
