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

Introduction (Oyakawa, 2003). Hoplias, the most species-rich within Erythinid , comprises 13 valid With more than 5100 species, Neotropical fresh- species (Eschmeyer et al., 2017). Species of Hoplias water fishes represent about one-third of all can be morphologically discriminated into three freshwater fishes worldwide, albeit some es- different groups by means of the arrangement timates regard a final diversity between 8000 of medial margins and number of latero-sensory and 9000 species (Reis et al., 2016). Wolf fishes pores of dentaries and the presence of tooth plates of the family Erythrinidae are predator fishes on basihyal and basibranchial bones (Oyakawa, that inhabit a large array of aquatic ecosystems 1990; Oyakawa & Mattox, 2009; Mattox et al., throughout South America and comprise three 2006). One of these groups, the Hoplias malabaricus genera: , and Hoplias species group, includes Hoplias malabaricus, which
