The actual distribution of members of the Leopardus colocola complex in the Argentine Chaco is poorly known. This record was part of a monitoring study with camera traps of native mammals in the Argentine Dry Chaco, in areas with different livestock densities. The detection occurred in the province of Santiago del Estero (latitude -28.05277; longitude -64.29611), it is the second report in the province and one of the few in the region. This record provides information on the presence of the species in the area and the possibility of it being found in similar areas of the Dry Chaco, contributing to the knowledge of its distribution and type of habitat.
