Sanaa imperialis is a species of bush cricket (or katydid) found in the tropical forests of South and Southeast Asia. It was described originally by Adam White from a specimen obtained from Sylhet in Bangladesh. The description was published in 1846 and it was given the name Locusta imperialis.[2] It was moved into the genus Sanaa by Francis Walker in 1870.[3]
