Tragidion coquus, Kansas

Tragidion coquus is a species of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It is found in North America. ^{[1] [2]}

Individuals of this species have a black head and pronotum, with highly variable amounts of orange on the elytra, ranging from almost completely orange to black. ^[3]

Tragidion coquus was described by Carl Linnaeus in his landmark 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae. The specific epithet is sometimes misspelled as "coquum", but it is a noun ^[4] and must retain the spelling "coquus" under the ICZN. ^[5]
