Hemp, C; Hemp, A: Conservation Status of the Elegant Yellow-Black Bush-cricket (Meruterrana elegans) (Orthoptera: Phaneropterinae) – a critically endangered species on Mt Kenya, Journal of East African Natural History, 107(1), 9-16 (2018), doi:https://doi.org/10.2982/028.107.0102 [Link]
Abstract:
Two populations of Meruterrana elegans, a monotypic bush-cricket genus, endemic to Mount Kenya in Kenya were surveyed. The species is restricted to Cassipourea forest, a forest community vanishing rapidly on Mount Kenya and with it Meruterrana elegans, which therefore should be included to the IUCN red list of threatened species as Critically Endangered.
