How do I reference a jQuery selector using TypeScript and DefinitelyTyped?

Question

I'm creating a method in TypeScript that should receive a jQuery selector as a parameter and I want to make it strongly typed by using DefinitelyTyped. How should my method be like?

Example:

class Foo {
    constructor($el: jQuerySelector) {
    }
}

What should I replace jQuerySelector with?

e.g. $('div') in the DefinitelyTyped jquery.d.ts is named JQuery.

Thanks, my jQuerySelector should be just jQuery.

@AndréPena Note the capital J in JQuery instead of jQuery. This holds for all the other types defined in that file such as JQueryXHR and JQueryPromise.
