Mons Latreille is a solitary lunar mountain in central Mare Crisium. This feature was named by the IAU in May 2021, after Pierre André Latreille, a French entomologist.[1] It rises approximately 150 m above the surrounding mare,[2] and it is approximately 6.4 km in diameter.
The mountain is a volcanic feature similar to Isis and Osiris in Mare Serenitatis. The Blue Ghost Mission 1 is expected to land near the slopes of it.
