Mantophryne menziesi, commonly known as the Iarowari School frog, is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to New Guinea and is only known from near Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea.[1][2] The actual limits of its distribution are poorly known.[1]
Mantophryne menziesi is a poorly known species, but it is not uncommon and has been recorded from mowed lawns, plantations, and closed-canopy rainforest at elevations below 460 m (1,510 ft). Males call from concealed positions, possibly holes. Development is direct[1] (i.e., there is no free-living larval stage[3]). It is a very adaptable species that appears not to be facing any serious threats. It might occur in the Varirata National Park.[1]
