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.

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

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.
