I have not Heller's description, but this is the drawing from BREUNING S., 1939. Études sur les Lamiaires (Coléop. Cerambycidæ). Huitième tribu : Mesosini Thomson. Novitates Entomologicæ, 3ème supplément (50-66): 393-526, figs 510-521.
There is no longitudinal white band along suture (Breuning said nothing about it in his text) and C. imitatrix should also have 2 white spots on pronotum, one after one. So, I have a doubt. |

| Tried to post a picture of my imitatrix but it would not preview. I looks identical to the drawing by Breuning. |

Ok : your second picture is most probably Cacia imitatrix Heller, 1923 . The first one is another species.
Francesco, can you separate the species in 2 post ?

The first beetle is pretty similar to Cacia xenoceroides Heller, 1915.
Heller's original drawing is below. The quality is not high but gives a general impression.
