Description
The Yemen serin (Crithagra menachensis) is a species of finch in the family Fringillidae. It is found in Oman, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen. The Yemen serin was formerly placed in the genus Serinus but phylogenetic analysis using mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences found that the genus was polyphyletic. The genus was therefore split and a number of species including the Yemen serin were moved to the resurrected genus Crithagra.

The yemen Serin primarily inhabits dry, montane to submontane scrublands and vegetation-rich rocky hillsides and plateaux. It also resides along cliffs, including those near villages and urban peripherals, favoring environments that sometimes lack trees. This bird species is typically associated with semi-arid habitats across broader Southwest Asian highland regions.
