Inopeplus violaceipennis. 
Latior, niger, nitidus ; capite thoraceque crebre subtiliter punetu- 
latis; elytris violaceis, crebre subtilissimo punctulatis ; palpis, 
antennarum articulo basali tarsisque piceis. 
Long. 2^ lin. 
A large broad species. Head more than twice as broad as 
long, finely, distinctly, and rather closely punctured. Thorax 
at its widest part a trifle broader than the head, finely, dis¬ 
tinctly, and rather closely punctured, twice as broad as long, 
from the middle to the base very obliquely narrowed and 
rounded, base arcuate. Elytra violet, finely and rather closely 
punctured, as long as the head and thorax together. Abdo¬ 
men ameous-black, broad and rounded, the two basal seg¬ 
ments of those exposed above sparingly and very obscurely 
punctured, the apical segment closely and very finely punc¬ 
tured.

Inopeplus terminatus. 
Piceo-niger, nitidus ; capite thoraceque crebre evidenter punctatis ; 
elytris piceis, brevibus, obsolete subtilissime punctulatis, apice 
testaceo; abdomine supra crebre subtilissime punctulato ; tarsis 
piceo-testaceis. 
Long. 2 lin. 
Head twice as broad as long, slightly oblique behind the 
eyes, closely and very distinctly punctured. Thorax not quite 
twice as broad as long, much narrowed at the base, not quite 
so closely punctured as the head, with a slight smooth mesial 
line ; the sides are rounded at the anterior third, and then very 
oblique and gently sinuous to the base. Elytra at the base 
as broad as the thorax, much broader posteriorly, as long as 
the head and thorax together, smooth, with only some obscure 
and extremely fine punctuation, pitchy, the sides darker, the 
apex pale yellow-testaceons. Abdomen with four segments 
exposed above, parallel at the base, rounded at the apex,
