Etymology:

The species name turneri is a patronym honoring Robert Edward “Ted” Turner III, an American media mogul and philanthropist renowned for his extensive contributions to environmental conservation. Turner, the founder of CNN and a major philanthropist, has been instrumental in numerous initiatives aimed at protecting the environment and biodiversity. His establishment of the Turner Endangered Species Fund and his efforts in large-scale land conservation have provided critical support for the preservation of diverse ecosystems, including those that likely sustain a great diversity of grasshopper species.
