Source-derived summary

Mannophryne herminae is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. It is endemic to Venezuela.

Habitat

This diurnal frog lives near narrow streams that run through in forests on mountains and in lowlands. It can survive in primary forest, secondary forest, and on coffee and cocoa plantations that have sufficient shade. Scientists have seen the frog between 0 and 1200 meters above sea level.

There are two national parks in the frog's range: San Esteban National Park and Henri Pittier National Park.

Reproduction

The male frogs perch on rocks near streams and call to the female frogs. The female frogs exhibit some territorial behavior. The female frogs lay eggs in the leaf litter near streams. After the eggs hatch, the male frogs carry the tadpoles to ponds in the streams.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Mannophryne herminae” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Mannophryne, herminae and species provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 18, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q1936359. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1200.

Critical limits

Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
