( Figs 21, 22 View FIGURES 17 – 22 , 27, 28 View FIGURES 23 – 28 , 33-35 View FIGURES 29 – 35 )

Eotilla typhoctoides Martinez & Fritz, 1974: 23 –26.

Diagnosis. Female. General body color reddish brown, except T3–T6 dark brown to black ( Figs 21, 22 View FIGURES 17 – 22 , 33, 34 View FIGURES 29 – 35 ). Male. Unknown.

Description and characterization provided by Martinez & Fritz (1974). Amplified and corrected as follows: Female. Plumose setae present on head, mesosoma and metasoma ( Figs 21, 22 View FIGURES 17 – 22 , 28 View FIGURES 23 – 28 , 33, 34 View FIGURES 29 – 35 ); pronotum with humeral tubercle forming acute and pronounced projection ( Figs 22 View FIGURES 17 – 22 , 33 View FIGURES 29 – 35 ); mesopleuron with longitudinal carina at level of ventral limit of pronotum ( Fig. 27 View FIGURES 23 – 28 ); propodeum with pair of small antero-lateral denticles on each side, each bearing a long seta; postgenal bridge approximately as long as diameter of foramen magnum, with smooth transverse carinae near foramen.

Male. Unknown.

Discussion. Martinez and Fritz (1974) included this species within Eotillinae based in the presence of scalelike setae, and in Eotilla based on comparison with the description of the putative female of E. mickeli Schuster, 1949 by Mickel (1968). Our observations and differentiation of females collected at localities where males of one or other of the genera of Eotillini were collected, as well as of the female assigned to E. mickeli , have shown that the species of Martinez & Fritz shares the diagnostic features of the two species described here in Prototilla . Based on those similarities we propose this new combination.

Distribution. Argentina: Córdoba.
