As we are still finding "new species" at an alarming rate, I'm not sure
anyone can proclaim what you just did.

The trouble is that when you know the environment in which a "new"
species is discovered you know where to look for historic records such
as fossils would be found and there they are.
This can be true. Knowledge of even recent species can be "lost" to
common awareness. OTOH, sharing knowledge can result in the "trashing" of
the species/area.
