I don't think it is Calopteron reticulatum. Head looks different and general shape is trinagular not rectangula like in this one. And to my shame I must admit after quite a long re-search, I am not even sure if this is really a Lycidae. In the meanwhile I have some doubts. Definitely a nice lycid-mimic beetle. There are quite a ot of these ones in the family Cerambycidae, but for that the antennae look in my eyes a little bit short. Sorry, at the moment I do not have a reasonable candidate. I will keep an eye on it.
