Prosopis gracillima Schrottky, C. (1902). Ensaio sobre as abelhas solitarias do Brazil. Rev. Mus. Paul. 5: 330-613 [340] (In Schrottky's original paper, the species name is spelled both as gracillinea (p. 338, 340, 609) and as gracillima (p. 601). In subsequent papers, Schrottky employed the spelling gracillima and treated gracillinea as a lapsus (Schrottky, 1906: 265, 1912), therefore, acting as First Reviser in establishing the correct original spelling (see ICZN's Art. 24.2.3)) .
