Yep, I agree with Winston that this may indeed very well be a form of
Tricornis tricornis. Unfortunately there is paucity of material, only
holotype and one paratype.
It appears however that the paratype is in the USA.
I will ask the person who kindly sent me photographs of it to allow me to
send (through e-mail) those to the people interested.
