There's absolutely no question that there are still plenty of undiscovered species on Earth, probably in the millions. Some of them are probably quite intelligent, but I don't think any are, as I assume you're getting at, anywhere near as intelligent as humans.

discovery happens everyday... I think the species are evolving quicker than we can find them on smaller things... as for the sea.. I too feel that its possible there are very smart creatures that have cunningly stayed undetected and undiscovered as of yet... we have stealth flight... its not to far off to think that a deep water swimmer that needs not to surface could possibly be out there... the earth is 70%+ water... if there nothing else out there... there should be

of of course there is plenty undiscovered. but perhaps there is an intelligent life right in front of our eyes, but so different than anything imagined, we will not recognize it

Without a doubt. I still believe even in this day and age there is still so much we don't know about this earth.

Can we be so sure that the only species here are the ones we are capable of detecting?

New species are discovered all the time and most of them are very small. There are new species evolving all the time and animals are adapting to human activity. Animals get smarter. Bears open trash cans and ravens pay attention to traffic to crack open nut shells.

I don't know about intelligent life, but they are many undiscovered species on Earth still. Not to beat the dead horse with the ocean thing, but Arjuna is right. Only about 2% of the ocean has been explored. We can't even explore the Marianna Trench, which is the deepest the place on Earth, because it is almost 7 miles deep. At that depth, the pressure is about 16,000 pounds per square inch. Cameras and unmanned vessels have been down there, but you could only get a slight taste of what is there. I personally like the mystery and the possibility of new, unexplored species. It keeps a world focused on amassing as much information as possible new and exciting.

I'm sure that there is plenty of undiscovered species out there. I once heard that at most 2% of the ocean has been explored by humans underwater, and that we know more about the Moon than the oceans. By the way, ever seen the movie "Abyss?" It has a little to do with your question.
