Description

Trilobite beetle is the informal name of the Duliticola beetle species

Duliticola is a genus of beetles of the family Lycidae. The females stay in the larval form and are about 40-80 mm in length. They have a flat dark body with large scales over the head, resembling trilobites. Hence the informal names "Trilobite beetles", "Trilobite larva" or "Sumatran Trilobite larva". The males are much smaller, 8-9 mm, with a beetle like appearance. Most are found in tropical rainforests, notably in India and South-east Asia.
