Someone posted a video to Youtube about an insect named "trilobite beetle"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5ZGFrdbbBA
My first immediate thought was to assume it was a trilobite descendant. I was originally under the impression that the "trilobite" line died out with the Permian mass extinction.
....so I tried to find information on it, but google didn't pull up any results. Neither did wikipedia (which I thought was a bit odd). . I revisited the video too see if there were any other details about it. The blurb to the right of the video says:
.....so I guess it's an adult larval stage for some sort of insect from Borneo.......but still haven't found any real info on it.
Anybody have any information about this thing?

Youtube said:Neotonous female trilobite beetle Duliticola (Lycidae) in Gunung Mulu National Park/ Sarawak/ Malaysia/ Borneo
