Tragocerus
Tragocerus is a genus of longhorn beetle from western regions of Australia.[1][2] DescriptionMembers of the genus Tragocerus are diagnosed by having filiform antenae, slightly shorter than the body. The elytra are long and form a rectangle.[1] They are fused along the mid-dorsal line, though each elytron has indentations just above the wing's point of origin, allowing it to move without meaningful disruption.[3] Tragocerus species appear to mimic wasps; while convincing in flight, their sluggish movements upon landing betray their identity.[3] TaxonomyEight species of Tragocerus have been described:
