Mannophryne speeri, or Speer's collared frog, is a frog in the family Aromobatidae. It has been found in the Sierra de Portuguesa in Lara, Venezuela.[2][3][1]
The adult male frog measures about 19.5 mm long in snout-vent length and the adult female frog is 23.5 mm long. The frog has a wide collar. There is a stripe that starts at the eye.[4]
Habitat
This frog lives in forests with high humidity. Scientists observed it in a tributary of the Morador River between 800 and 1700 meters above sea level.[1]
Scientists have not observed the frog in any protected places, but there are two nearby: Parque Nacional Dinira and Parque Nacional El Guache.[1]
