Resumen:
We report the occurrence of a mature male Syngnathus folletti in the inlet channel of Mar Chiquita coastal lagoon (37844′S 57825′W, Buenos Aires, Argentina). This record constitutes the southernmost report for the species. Mar Chiquita coastal lagoon is characterized by mudflats surrounded by a large cord-grass area but not by grass beds which are seen to be a suitable habitat for S. folletti. Therefore, oceanic winds that allow warmer northern waters to approach the coast of Argentina could be the cause of the presence of the species.
