The N. pilosa was used for a species found in the area where N. chaniana was found, therefore based on locality, the plant seed collected and tc'd was called N. pilosa.
I am of the opinion that we are experiencing the same phenomenon with the current N. copelandii in trade today. Just because a species is found in a particular location doesn't mean that what you collect is that species. N. copelandii behaves too much like N. alata to me.
Regarding N. pilosa, the original description describes a plant with striped colored peristome. The description regarding fuzz should not be the only indication that a species is solely based on.
N. pilosa is probably still out there, we just don't know it yet.
