Mariah,
 
I had to re-read your msg twice just to be sure I was reading it
correctly. Are you referring to Cocos Is., Costa Rica? If so, I've been
to Cocos and it's highly unlikely your marybellae is from there...IF it
is a marybellae.  There are no known Semipallium form Cocos Is.
 
Since I helped Bret write up his new species, I have paratype #4 in my
collection. Could you please send me a jpeg. of your specimen for
varification?
 
 
Kind regards,
