My newest acquistion: sp. 'Conkeli'

We will probably have to wait for the paper to be published to see which localities are included with the new species.
Marbled fene's are line bred though, and probably seperate from this potential new species. That is if the gent on a forum can be believed.

In my estimation, yes, they are the same species but perhaps from different collections locales.
Ultimately, they all came from Don Conkel, so he'd be the guy to ask. Perhaps Ira too.

Marbled in the sense that it is a line bred creation of a particular person. You wouldn't find that fish in Lake Catemaco. You would, however, find fish like the ones I posted there.
Consider that specific line bred marbled fene in the same manner you would a calico convict or something similar.
The first page of that link has pics of the line bred marbled fene's ... the last page shows the original breeders, which seem to be standard riverine pink fenes (though the creator calls them grays).
I believe the piebald fene and the new species are the same, it's what they were called once it was established (preDNA) that they were fenes. So I think conkeli, sp. Catemaco, and piebald fenes are all the same, soon to be new fish.

Its too bad my camera is m.i.a I could take pictures of a bunch of the different varients of what I believe to be the same species none the less. Its like someone else here said, think citrinellus and then go into Jeff Rapps photographic library of Citrinellus and you would think you are looking at 15 different species yet all "Citrinellus" none the less. I use that example since someone else brought it up but I have to agree by looking at the many different varients I have that all came from the same box,from Don as well.
