A new species of Proeulia Clarke (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) from Central Chile

Abstract Proeulia uniformata sp. nov., is described and illustrated from Chacabuco Province, Santiago Metropolitan Region, Chile. Based on the possession of a single cornutus in the phallus, the new species appears to be most closely related to P. cneca Obraztsov, 1964, P. gladiator Razowski, 1999, and P. elguetae Razowski, 1999. The new species brings to 41 the number of species in the genus Proeulia, which includes 37 Chilean endemics that occur on the mainland and offshore islands.
