The genus was originally known as Collinellula, named by John Merton Aldrich in 1932. It was named in honor of J. E. Collin, who collected a specimen of the type species, Collinellula magistri (the specific name was also chosen to celebrate the ability of this collector).[2] However, Collinellula was found to be preoccupied, so the genus was renamed to Enlinia by Aldrich in 1933, in honor of G. Enderlein, another collector of the type species.[1]
