This tribe is relictual. Today it is limited to Chile and Argentina.[1]
These are small, slender bees measuring up to 8.5 millimeters long. They may be metallic blue or matte black, sometimes with reddish parts on the abdomen. Because Manuelia species are so distinct from each other, the genus is divided into two subgenera.[1]
Species
- Manuelia gayatina (Spinola, 1851)
- Manuelia gayi (Spinola, 1851)
- Manuelia postica (Spinola, 1851)

gollark: Firecubez contains no* hypocrisy.
gollark: Wrong. The "youtuber" "styropyro" has more than that, and is apparently beeinated by the algorithm often.
gollark: You *might* do well. You also probably *won't*, based on what actually happens on average. And YouTube can arbitrarily bee you at any time even if you are moderately large.
gollark: I don't think this is accurate, however.
