Farlowella martini is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Loricariidae, the mailed catfishes, and the subfamily Loricariinae, the armored suckermouth catfishes.[1] This catfish is found in coastal drainages on the Caribbean coast of Venezuela. This species reaches a standard length of 19.3 cm (7.6 in).[2]
The specific name honors Felipe J. Martín Salazar, a Venezuelan ichthyologist who revised the Venezuelan species of the genus Farlowella in 1964.[3]
