From the article Chlorophorus figuratus on Wikipedia (CC BY-SA), quoted section by section
Description
Chlorophorus figuratus can reach a length of 8–13 millimetres (0.31–0.51 in). The body is elongated and cylindrical. The pronotum is about as wide as the elytra. The elytra are cut off at the end. Head, pronotum and elytra are black or brownish and the elytrae show various hairy gray stripes. This species is rather similar to Chlorophorus sartor, but in C. sartor the gray humeral stripe is missing.
