Making a new enviroment that uses tables which get added automatically to a list of tables by simply using the enviroment

Question

I'm trying to make a list of definitions. I've defined the enviroment "defi" through a tabular enviroment. I want the definitions to be added automatically to the list with it's corresponding name. This last part, assigning the right name to the definition, is what I'm having trouble with. The enviroment "defi" allows for one variable only, this variable being the name of the definition. I've come up with the following code, the problem happens at the end where I've added a comment; for some reason it won't accept #1 as the name of the definition (an error message will appear).

How could I make it so that it allows me to make #1 the name that appears on the list?

newenvironment{defi}[1][section]
{\begingroup 
\begin{center}
    \begin{tabular}{|m{\w}|} %\w has been defined previously.
        \hline 
        \\
        \textsc{\textbf{Definición}} \scshape (#1)\upshape} 
        {\\
        \hline
    \end{tabular} 
\end{center}
\captionof{table}{#1} %if "#1" is replaced by any word (not a command) then theres no error.
\endgroup}

Please prepare a complete and compilable minimal working example (MWE) and add it to your question. — leandriis, Mar 24 '21 at 08:23
Do you want to add your defi's captions to the list of tables, together with the captions of regular table environment or do you basicallywant a separate "list of defis"? For the latter, you might want to take a look at the following brief overview: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/16495/134144 — leandriis, Mar 24 '21 at 08:24
@leandriis Since I don't have any other tables, I wouldn't mind using the list of tables for the defis. — Choripán Con Pebre, Mar 24 '21 at 16:14
Look at the tocloft package for definining new "List of ...". — Peter Wilson, Mar 24 '21 at 17:59
