These two beetles belong perhaps to the same species - or not.
I think genus Hephaestion, resembling to coralensis at a first glance.

Similar size, 15mm.

According to Jaime Zavala Benavente (Chile), both are Hephaestion violaceipennis Fairmaire & Germain, 1861, with a very few chromatic variations.
