| Sumario: | <i>Temnocephala icononcensis</i> n.sp. an ectosymbiont on several species of montane Pseudothelphusidae crabs such as, <i>Hypolobocera bouvieri</i>, <i>Phallangothelphusa dispar</i> and <i>Strengeriana cajenensis</i>, is described from brooks and small streams in the mountains of Tolima, Colombia. Eggs and adult specimens were found on the carapace and orbital cavities of the hosts. The morphology of the species was studied with whole mounted specimens. The most distinctive character of the new species includes the size, shape and introvert morphology of the cirrus and the absence of sphincter in the vagina. The finding of this species in Pseudothelphusidae of Colombia demonstrates the potential diversity of temnocephalans in this country. |
