Quite sure its an O. aeneus, the mesonotum does not look very wavy but flat to me, O. biaccinctus is often more obvious two coloured as well, having a contrasting yellow/red metasoma

Ciao!

I agree with Omalus aeneus (Fabr.).
However the small punctuation on mesosoma is noticeably,

do you have a picture of the mesosoma in dorsal view?
Perhaps it could be O. puncticollis or a similar form.

I'm sorry Paolo, I have no other pictures than these.
It was quite dark this place and it's already good that I have these pictures
Thank you for your reaction!
