I don't know.
I need to see the terminal abdominal sternite and the spur of hind tibiae.
May be Trichodes favarius or Trichodes punctatus or ........
???

thanks for your help.
reached home only last night (late) and will come on this later... another two clerids will come (at least one I think will be a more interesting species).

This is a female of Trichodes favarius (Illiger, 1802).
The tibial spur is anvil-shaped in the male of this species but in the female is often only straight and not anvil-shaped.
I have examined many hundreds of specimens of this species.
