Comment
Possibly the sister-taxon of Mannophryne according to the original publication although this is not consistent with the results provided by Grant, Frost, Caldwell, Gagliardo, Haddad, Kok, Means, Noonan, Schargel, and Wheeler, 2006, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 299. See map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status (as Colostethus chalcopis) in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 221. M. Brueil in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 221, suggested that this taxon may be introduced and synonymous with one of the South American species.
