I echo Harry's final thought, that a good photograph should be shared
publicly with experts to rule out similar species, there are so many,
many faulty wentletrap IDs out there.

One example, when you go on WoRMS to look up this species
(novangliae), the 1st of the 3 photos (NMR specimen from Sao Paulo)
looks a whole lot more like angulatum to me.  The spiral sculpture
Harry alludes to appears absent, among other issues.
