Resumen:
By means of an integrative taxonomic approach, a new species of the H. malabaricus group from the Río de LaPlata basin is described. Hoplias argentinensis, new species, is characterized by: 17-19 predorsal scales, 42-43 vertebrae,20 scales around caudal peduncle, no distinctive brown bands in lower jaw, last series of vertical scaleson caudal fin nearly straight, 41-44 lateral-line scales and snout width (18.4-24.9 % of SL). Hoplias argentinensisis discriminated from all other species of the H. malabaricus group by means of traditional characters, landmarksbasedmorphometrics and genetics. A key to species of the Hoplias malabaricus group is provided
