"A new species discovered" means "hey, we noticed nobody ever catalogued that one!"

Yeah! And, I don't even necessarily mean to discount ignoring indigenous folks, which definitely can be a thing, but it really really does come down to sometimes folks just don't write it down. I've seen a video (I wanna say a Smarter Everyday video) where they were in some South American jungle/rain forest or whatever and they very casually shine a light at a cloth to get moths to land on it, and they found like one or two new species.
