Remarks: Many populations of Mannophryne from Coastal Range were previously assigned to Mannophryne trinitatis (including M. venezuelensis ) until Barrio-Amorós et al. (2006b) based on previously published evidence ( Rivero 1961; La Marca 1994; Kaiser et al. 2003) restricted its distribution to Trinidad. First species of the genus defined based on an integrative approach with morphological, genetic, and bioacoustic evidence ( Manzanilla et al. 2007b).
