I'm not seeing that species name come up on either AFD or ALA - where does it come from? In any case, this is a Sumpigaster sp.

couldn't find anything similar on CNM so tried researching elsewhere and found a similar looking one on iNaturalist. We are definitely not experts in this field so are very happy to leave it in your hands. Way out of our comfort zone with these. I looked up Sumpigaster on iNat and there is one down for Sumpigaster fasciata. Just trying to help, apologies if I am out of line. Really appreciate your time and help. Thank you.

Sorry RodDeb - I missed this reply: that was a neutral and confused tone, not an irritated one! I really appreciate you observations, and they're extremely valuable to the field!
Cheers
