Well for start taxonomy makes it hard almost impossible to import many species! Why? Because this greedy mad rush to fame (nomenclature) needs to be accepted by country of origin before cites documents are issued, in many cases it will be rejected over and over again, until then many species will be unavailable to hobbyist. Seems like there is a thread amongst the scientific commune to name new species in the most unethical way, Iv herd about some importing large numbers of macraie and bohemeii just before officially naming them, fully aware that importation will be next to impossible afterwards, this leaves little chance for hobbyist to work with them. I know of many new species awaiting this treatment.
