TYPE SPECIES: Euryglossidia cyanescens Cockerell, 1929 .

DIAGNOSIS: This subgenus is distinctive for the absence of the metatrochanteral floccus and metafemoral scopa, and the simple metatibial setae.

ETYMOLOGY: The new subgeneric name is a combination of the Ancient Greek adjective mānós (μᾱνός, meaning, “scanty” or “few”) and kollitís (κολλητής, meaning, “gluer” or “one who glues"). The gender of the name is masculine.
