Abstract

Three new records of Acanthicus hystrix Agassiz, 1829 are reported for the Ecuadorian Amazon, based on photographs of adult specimens uploaded to the ICTIO database (https://www.ictio.org/) by artisanal fishermen using the ICTIO 3.1 mobile application and a specimen collected in the upper Napo River basin (Ecuador). This specimen is the first voucher deposited in a scientific collection in Ecuador. This report confirms the presence of this cryptic fish species in the Ecuadorian Amazon.
