Callionymus martinae, Martina's dragonet, is a species of dragonet endemic to the Pacific waters around Taiwan where it occurs at depths of from 73 to 92 metres (240 to 302 ft).[1] The specific name honours Miss Martina Wolf, of Braunschweig, for her "continued interest" in the author's, Ronald Fricke's, studies.[2]
