Diagnosis 
CommentDistribution: see map in Nieto-Montes de Oca et al. 2022: 48 (Fig. 6). 
EtymologyNamed after the ancient Roman legion composed of either 60 or 120 men, and the origin of the modern word maniple. It is used in reference to the arrangement of the paravertebral tubercles of Xenosaurus manipulus, which resembles that of soldiers in the fighting position of the maniple.
