Tragocerus

Tragocerus is a genus of longhorn beetle from western regions of Australia.

Description
Members of the genus Tragocerus are diagnosed by having filiform antenae, slightly shorter than the body. The elytra are long and form a rectangle. 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. Tragocerus species appear to mimic wasps; while convincing in flight, their sluggish movements upon landing betray their identity.
