Ian and friends are debating this now at http://www.corydorasworld.com/ (you need to be a paying member)

CW 049 has a diamond shape blotch and this new one Ian is referring to as sp. 'big blotch".

Thank you very much.

I found this picture on line. I think we have an ID unless other people think differently

This is the text that was right next to it.

"Last week we received for the first time ever this beautiful new Cory. Its fantastic black-and-white-coloration will make it without any doubts to one of the favorite species for Corydoras enthusiasts. Specialized aquarists already know the fish under the code CW49. More about this new entry soon!"

Thanks for bringing these fish in Saul!
I hope you could get a good sale.
I saw a similar thread in Chinese forum. People were saying in Hong Kong, CW049 is running about 500-600 Yuan a piece, that is about $70-85.
