A new member of the grasshopper world, which has been identified from Tamil Nadu, is named after the Dravidian landscape.
The newly described pygmy unicorn grasshopper Dravidacris annamalaica is restricted to the eastern coast of Tamil Nadu.
The specimen was collected two years ago and was recently confirmed that it is a new species under a new genus.
The new species, which was discovered by a group of Croatian and German researchers in Sinharaja rainforests of Sri Lanka, hails from Cladonotus genus and has been named as Cladonotus Bhaskari.
