Rationale

The threat status of Bachmann's Armoured Katydid is Least Concern because it has a relatively large extent of occurrence and area of occupancy, and, due to its occurrence within sparsely inhabited regions which are not designated for cultivation or development, its geographic range is not expected to be severely fragmented or to experience decline or extreme fluctuations presently or in the foreseeable future.

Distribution

Bachmann's Armoured Katydid (Hemihetrodes bachmanni) is restricted in its distribution to coastal, extremely dry habitats ranging from the Western Cape to the Skeleton Coast in Namibia.
