 This insect, seems to resemble G. granulans Westw., very 

 closely, so closely indeed that were it not for the very wide diflfer- 

 ence of habitat, I should be inclined to pass over the few distinctive 

 points, and regard them as varieties of the same species. 



I have never seen the insect described by Mr. Westwood, but 

 from his description I make out that the present species has the 

 head less distinctly bisulcated, the thorax longer, the elytra with 

 the granulations more completely confined to the sides and apex, 

 and the spine at the outer extremity of the intermediate tibiae 

 more spatulate, than in O. granularis. 



I have named this fine insect after the Rev. Mr. Bliss of 

 Swan River, W. Australia, who lately sent two specimens of it to 

 Dr. Cox, among a collection of other valuable Coleoptera of that 

 settlement.

 This is the smallest of the genus yet described. The labial 

 palpi are strongly securiform. The head and thorax are smooth 

 but not shining. The elytra have each four rows of irregular 

 fovese, each fovea containing three or more punctures ; the sides 

 and apex are also granulated. The bronzy appearance so usual 

 in the genus, is scarcely observable in this species.
