The Sargassum Pipefish has been mentioned for Argentina by Pozzi & Bordalé (1935), Ringuelet & Arámburu (1960), Figueiredo & Menezes (1980), Menni et al. (1984) with reference to Pozzi & Bordalé (1935), Cousseau & Rosso (2019), and Mabragaña & Cousseau (2021) referring to Menni et al. (1984).

Menni et al. (1984) stated that “las referencias argentinas deben corresponder a otra especie” and in fact no precise locality or collection specimen is known from so far South.
