This is also known as CW031 or the Loreto Panda. Appears only to have been exported to Japan, I am casting around for pictures.

From its given location, although a little remote, I am sure it will not be long before this species is brought into the hobby generally. It is closely related to both C. reynoldsi Myers & Weitzman, 1960& C. tukanoBritto & Lima, 2003
