Ipisoma coleoptratum is a species of cockroach in the family Corydiidae. It is the only species in the monotypic genus Ipisoma, and has been recorded from Africa.

== Taxonomy and systematics == The genus is placed near the genus Latindia due to its very widely separated eyes. The pronotum, truncated posteriorly, leaves the scutellum exposed. The elytra are notably shorter than the abdomen, opaque, with veins that are weakly marked, resembling irregular longitudinal folds, and appear roughened. The membranous part of the right elytron is almost absent and is traversed by abnormal, arched, fairly robust veins. The abdomen narrows abruptly posteriorly.
