Abstract

The present paper reports the occurrence of Polyonyx gibbesi in Argentinean shelf waters and extends its distribution southwards in the western Atlantic. Forty-four specimens of P. gibbesi were found in stomach contents of the narrownose smoothhound shark Mustelus schmitti during November 2008.
