Dear Philibert,
This is the same species as in Sully Bachel's message [#22188] which I am pretty sure is the new B. johnsonorum. It is very interesting to be able to extend the geographic distribution of a new species so quickly. Of course we would need to study its anatomy to be 100% sure, but externally I can see no real differences.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
