Donovan’s B. cancellata is surely a distinct species, the serrated margins of the elytra and other characters would separate it.  I have not seen the work of the Reverend F. Hope, referred to by Messrs. Gory and Laporte, so that I am not aware whether the specific name roei or dejeaniana had the priority in publication.

The dilated sides of thorax meeting in front, and projecting beyond head, a short spine in the middle near the hind margin.  Elytra with two rows of spines close to the suture, and another close to the edge, where the dilated part commences:  the central rows of spines are not continued to the tip, the spines being placed irregularly; they are also much larger than those of the side row.  General surface of thorax and elytra very smooth, shining, the dilated parts of thorax and elytra with the surface somewhat undulated.

Inhabits King George’s Sound, Captain Grey.
