No, it a S. longicorne specimen with seemingly damaged pubescence.
In this species, the body is usually reddish brown (while it is dark blackish brown in S. barbatum). You can see other pictures in this Forum.
Your specimen shows a dark bluish body, possibly due to the over-exposition of the photo (the bark is abnormally light, without saturation of the colours, the colour red is missing). Possibly, this was the original picture:

A very cryptic specimen; nonetheless, the elytral ridges typical of S. barbatum lack, while I can observe some (actually, very small!) dorsal tubercles, typical of S. longicorne. Moreover, the legs are bicolour.
Finally, your recent finding of a female of S. longicorne put more light on this male. |

Yes, that's why I recalled you this topic. |

Francesco I am confused: you have changed this post. You originally said a small Stromatium barbatum |

Indeed: it is a small Stromatium longicorne (Newman, 1842) |
