The Marakele delicate katydid (Amyttacta marakelensis) is a species of tettigoniid orthopteran that is endemic to Marakele National Park in Limpopo Province, South Africa. It can be found within savanna and grassland biomes, and feeds on flowers and grass seeds, particularly Guinea grass. Because of its limited distribution, the IUCN considers it to be vulnerable to extinction, and is threatened by microclimatic changes.
