Unserious Contents or Definition

n. One of a race of highly improper demons who though probably not wholly extinct may be said to have seen their best nights. For a complete account of incubi and succubi including incubae and succubae see the Liber Demonorum of Protassus (Paris 1328) which contains much curious information that would be out of place in a dictionary intended as a text-book for the public schools.
