It seems to me a larva of Stratiomyidae: is it possible to say more about it (genus, species)?

Thank you www.diptera.info/images/smiley/smile.gif www.diptera.info/images/smiley/cool.gif www.diptera.info/images/smiley/wink.gif

Stratiomys spec. for sure, but ID to species level from Italian specimens is impossible for me. If it was in The Netherlands I would say S. longicornis, but in Italy? No singularior, potamida or chamaeleon.
