Holopeplus Arrow, 1930: 230 . Type species: Holopeplus cubensis Arrow, 1930 (by monotypy).— Schenkling 1934: 1; Blackwelder 1945: 423; Lawrence & Newton 1995: 897; Pollock 1999: 56.
Types species: Holopeplus cubensis Arrow , monotypic, junior synonym of Holopeplus gundlachi (Grouvelle, 1878) as per Scott (1933).
Derivation of generic name: The name Holopeplus is a derivation of the name Hemipeplus . Arrow (1930) described Holopeplus based on the feature that its elytra cover the entire abdomen unlike in Hemipeplus , hence holo, meaning ‘full’, and peplus meaning ‘garment’.
Adult Diagnosis: Head elongate; eyes located at about mid-length of head ( Arrow 1930; Pollock 1999); pronotum elongate with convex anterior margin; anterior pronotal pad distinct, heavily setose, raised shelf-like; abdominal process narrow; the last abdominal tergite angulate and pointed in males ( Arrow 1930); most of the other characters consistent with the adults of Hemipeplus ; body elongate; elytra flat and subparallel, bearing apical patches.
