No information on population sizes or trends is available.
This species occurs in temperate and subtropical grasslands in regions which are under intensive grazing pressure by livestock and wildlife. The habitat is also intensively cultivated with non-timber crops and plantation forestry, and is often invaded by alien plant species such as Lantana spp., bugweed and other non-native weed species. Furthermore, climate change is already causing increasingly frequent extreme weather events in these regions, which is liable to drastically effect the distribution of grasses, the katydid's food plant.
No specific conservation measures are in place for this species but it occurs on the outskirts of Kruger National Park, so is expected to occur within the park as well.
