see text Duliticola Mjöberg, 1925 Falsocalochromus Pic, 1942 Platerodriloplesius Wittmer, 1944 Platrilus Kazantsev, 2009 Platerodrilus is a genus of beetles of the family Lycidae.
They commonly appear in the literature under the name Duliticola, which is an obsolete junior synonym.
In contrast, the males are much smaller, 8–9 mm, resembling other lycid beetles.
Species are found in tropical forests of India and South-east Asia.
[2] As only the females have this appearance the search for the species' males remained a mystery until Swedish zoologist Eric Mjöberg published a research paper describing them in 1925.
