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.

P. ngi was described in 2014 on the basis of a specimen collected in Singapore (the holotype) along with a number of other specimens from both Singapore and Pahang, Malaysia. The holotype, a male, was recovered from the Bukit Timah and Central Water Catchment locality. Morphological comparisons found P. ngi to belong in the same clade with P. major, and thus belongs within its species group.
