Could it be a Lema melanopus? As far as I know this creature is a pest of rye and barley.

Now Lema have only one European species: Lema cyanella, and species melanopus belong to genus Oulema. But I don't know what Oulema is it -are very similar!

you can check what here: http://culex.biol.uni.wroc.pl/cassidae/European%20Chrysomelidae/oulema.htm

you have to chose between Oulema duftschmidi and O.melanopus

i think is the best internet resource for european Chrysomelidae

i hope this helps you,
