Thanks, it just that it seems more and more images on CNM have the locations suppressed.

This is very much absolutely by design. Imagine if this unidentified sighting was an extremely sensitive, last known example of something. As per Mike's comment, all locations are suppressed until confirmed as a non-sensitive species...

Not Colpochila. Possibly Sericesthis, but hard to be sure without examining a specimen.
