 Hi Kostas, I'm sure, you are right: a male S. longicornis.

 It is from Greece, so please take care !! There are many more Stratiomys in Greece.

That said, this is also according Rozkosny S. longicornis. Southern specimens tend to be lighter of colouration than Central European ones, as well shown.

 Thanks for your warning, Theo, I appreciate it! I checked with fauna-eu before answering and found flavissima (Odontomyia) , longicornis, chamaeleon, ruficornis. The other 3 seem to be quite different from longicornis, that encouraged me to suggest longicornis.

Greetings, Eric

 Good to hear ! The quality of fauna-eu is varying strongly between families.
