Megasoma cedrosa is a species of rhinoceros beetle. It is endemic to Mexico and described originally from Cedros Island.[1] The name is often misspelled as "cedrosum"[2] or "cedros"[3] but the original spelling (as cedrosa) is retained under ICZN Article 31.2.3, as the name is neither Latin nor Greek.[4]
