Mannophryne is a genus of frogs native to South America. This genus was created in 1992, split from the former Colostethus trinitatis species group.

Mannophryne has been placed in the Dendrobatidae family, but a new study proposes moving it to the Aromobatidae family.

[edit] Taxonomy

Mannophryne contains fifteen species, twelve of which used to be classified in the Colostethus genus, while the remaining three are newly described.
