Mantella manery is the newest member of the genus, being recently described in 1999. It resembles M. laevigata in pattern, with a yellowish-green dorsum and dark brown body and limbs, though it is not closely related. A thin white stripe extends from the forelimb up the side of the head, and is the best way to distinguish between the two.

The only known locality of M. manery is Marojejy National Park in northeast Madagascar. I'm hopeful that more research in the future will provide more information about this newly described species.

M. manery is not, and as far as I’ve observed has not been, present in the pet trade.
