The genus is Ophonus.
Maybe O. azureus?

Thanks for this reply, but I don't think is genus Ophonus (because in Key to the cicindelidae and carabidae of Europe all european species are bigger than my specimen). Maybe can be Metophonus (even azureus) or maybe I'm completely wrong :?

Sorry, but the species is almost certainly Ophonus (Hesperophonus) azureus (Fabricius, 1775), following the most recent systematics. Neither Hesperophonus nor Metophonus are separate genera.

Best regards ;)
