Spanish abstract Registramos un individuo macho en el río Jurumbuno, en la vertiente oriental del Ecuador, provincia de Morona Santiago. Describimos características corporales y craneanas, éstas se encuentran dentro del intervalo conocido para la especie, exceptuando la cola que es bicolor hasta la parte medial y la mitad posterior uniformemente oscura. El tracto digestivo contenía restos de insectos (Corydalus sp.), camarones (Macrobrachium sp.), e isópodos (Artystone trisibia), éste último parasita a peces y es encontrado por primera vez en la dieta de I. stolzmanni. Nuestro registro, en el río Jurumbuno, representa la tercera localidad en Ecuador luego de 40 años de su última captura
English abstract Stolzmann's crab-eating rat Ichthyomys stolzmanni is known from six locaties, two of those in the eastern slopes of Ecuador and four in southeastern Peru. We recorded a male specimen in the Jurumbuno River, on the eastern slopes of Ecuador at the province of Morona Santiago. We described the body and cranial characteristics, which are within the range known for the species, except that the tail is bicolored to the medial portion and the rear half is uniformly dark. The digestive tract contained traces of insects (Corydalus sp.), shrimps (Macrobrachium sp.), and isopods (Artystone trisibia); the latter parasitizes fish, and this is the first report of this parasite in the diet of I. stolzmanni. Our record in the Jurumbuno River is the third locality in Ecuador for the species studied, 40 years after its previous capture
