I was actually scrolling down the synonyms list to find an Italian sounding name without picture (it's a drawing), but forgot to look at the date of description. That also rules out an Ancistrus sp starting with an italian sounding d-name.

Another clue pls?

I could have been an Auchenipterid, yet I have 1 pair of barbels too many.
Common people put me on their bread.

I could have been an auchenipterid by looks.

I presume Matt means an oozing sludge, like ectoplasm, or the slime of a slug.

Just a stab at imaculate.

(not a Clog link)
Pseudecheneis immaculata

Maybe a Slobbering catfish ?
- "immaculate" in the sense of spotless i.e. "no spots on body"..

(If that's correct, please set another one.! )

Not Pseudecheneis immaculata

Not Brachyplatystoma.

I have slightly changed the original clue so people dont get a bum steer Like Dave see below

Clues:

I have goo in my mouth but I am "immaculate"
Not a sucky fish.

Next clue:

I was first identified in a place that could almost be small stones.

Well, I thought the last clue was fairly obvious, but then I know this species very well,I have been trying to breed them for years, I have heard they build nests in floating plants,which is your next clue.
