Wendy got the right one Kev, Smaug.
" A few months ago here at North Dakota State University’s Systematic Entomology Laboratory, we named an insect Planois smaug after J. R. R. Tolkien’s famous creature Smaug the Dragon. We chose that particular name because the specimens of Planois smaug were ‘sleeping’ in collections for about 60 years, like Tolkiens’ creature, and because of the large size of the insect. In fact, it is the largest of its family in the southern tip of South America."
