Poecilimon nonveilleri, also known as Nonveiller's bright bush-cricket, is a species of bush cricket belonging to the family Tettigoniidae, subfamily Phaneropterinae. It is found in Montenegro, and was named in honour of noted Croatian entomologist Guido Nonveiller. ^[2]

Distribution

Poecilimon nonveilleri is endemic to northern Montenegro. While its confirmed distribution is limited to 14 records within the municipalities of Žabljak, Pljevlja, Plužine, and Andrijevica, its range is likely more extensive. It is suspected to also inhabit the adjacent municipalities of Šavnik, Mojkovac, Kolašin, Berane, and Bijelo Polje. ^{[3] [1]}

Poecilimon nonveilleri is present in the relatively restricted area of the Durmitor Plateau and in the surrounding canyons, including Tara, Piva and Sušica canyons. It inhabits elevations from 500 to 1,200 meters, with some populations reaching up to 2,000 meters. Its preferred habitats include forest glades, shrublands, various forest associations, and montane to alpine meadows. ^[1]
