Flat-faced Longhorned Beetle - Lepturges pictus

Flat-faced Longhorned Beetle - Lepturges pictus
Bear Creek Trail, Creasy Springs Access, Boone County, Missouri, USA
November 1, 2011
Size: 1"
I think this is a LongHorned Beetle (Cerambycidae Family), Flat-faced (Lamiinae Tribe or SubFamily), and most specifically, Lepturges pictus. That's the closest match I could find anywhere. But please let me know if that's not right. If that is the ID, could you point me in the direction of more info about it? I've Google searched this one and can't find much about it, such as a common name, it's range, etc. Interestingly enough there is one other posted with this ID from this same county in Missouri, but it looks a bit different. Any ideas or help is most welcome.

Thanks All
for your ID help!

I agree...
...the light background and distinct, contrasting markings are typical of this species. The markings can be quite variable in shape.
