[2][3] Populations of this widespread taxon are now recognized as a distinct species, Adenomera saci.
[3] The specific name martinezi honours Antonio Martínez, an Argentine entomologist.
Dorsal coloration consists of 4–6 symmetrically arranged rows of longitudinal dark-colored spots on moss green (male) or grayish brown (female) background.
[3] Adenomera martinezi occurs in grassy field environments associated with rock outcrops in sandy/muddy soil.
[3] Given its very restricted known distribution, Adenomera martinezi is classified as a "near threatened" species.
