Lectotype
female, here designated.
Type
material.
There exist two pins with two (all females) and three (all males) co-mounted cards, each bearing multiple specimens. Both bear the same labels: “S’ Tomé (S’ Fe),
18.I.1920
, Parodi/
Prodecatoma parodii Brèthes
[both handwritten]/

Lectotype
female (black dot),
Paralectotypes
femalefemale [red].” There is also a slide mount bearing a male and female antenna labeled: “

!, prudin [illegible] gallas sur
Prosopis alba
Gris
.
, S’ Tomé (S’ Fe),
18.I.1920
, Parodi leg [all handwritten]” and a typed “P 54” tag on the upper right corner (
Fig. 5
). The
lectotype
is the left-most female of the top card, top row and is marked with a black dot on the card (
Figs. 15, 16
). The male-bearing pins share identical data, but has a small label marked, “
Type
!” in addition to a blank red paper label. The overall condition of the specimens is dirty and poorly mounted. The specific condition of each
paralectotype
is as follows: FEMALES—top card mount: all six specimens intact; bottom card mount: both specimens intact except left specimen is missing its antenna beyond the third flagellomere. MALES—top card mount: generally complete except for specimen in top right row missing left antenna and right antenna beyond scape; middle and bottom card mounts: all specimens are intact.
Nomenclature and notes.
Upon examination of the
type
specimens, this species belongs in
Proseurytoma
Kieffer and Jörgensen (1910)
, but is not conspecific with the
type
species
P. gallarum
Kieffer and Jörgensen. This
species was recorded as a gall inducer on Chilean palo verde (
Geoffroea
(as
Gourliaea
)
decorticans
(Gillies ex Hook. & Arn.) Burkhart) with the gall being round, soft, and
8–14 mm
in diameter.
Proseurytoma parodii
was reported being reared from elongate, fusiform, multilocular, woolly stem galls of
Prosopis alba
. Thus, both rearings are from
Fabaceae
. The male is newly reported herein and will be described in a later paper on South American eurytomids.
