Jorge follows my suggestion in separating Stylogymnomyia from Gymnosoma, thanks.

In most checklist the species is given as Gymnosoma nitens. Maybe you know it as such.

A nice photo for the gallery I think :) Here in the UK they are very rare and only usually found in rough grassland sites around London.

Tschorsnig & Herting (1994) says "Sciocoris cursitans F & S. helferi Fieb. (Pentatomidae)." :)
