Type locality: “ Quebrada La Rondona , Sierra de Aroa , Sucre municipality, Yaracuy state , Venezuela ( 10°19’20.8”N , 68°52’24.0”W ; 1,180 m asl ).” Distribution: Endemic of the Sierra de Aroa and only known from type locality at the southeastern slope of this mountain chain. Other populations known from northeastern and western foothills of Sierra de Aroa should be evaluated to determine if they correspond to this new species. Remarks: Apparently pertaining to the species group of Mannophryne collaris ( sensu Manzanilla et al. 2007, and Grant et al. 2017 ) and closely related to M. herminae , though easily distinguished by the advertisement call (Rojas-Runjaic et al. 2018). Its phylogenetic position and relationships into the genus remain unevaluated. Conservation status has not been evaluated by the IUCN, but based on restricted distribution and loss of habitat Rojas-Runjaic et al. (2018) proposed to classify it as VU (vulnerable).
