Discussion. The morphology of the specimens observed agrees with the original description of Coptotettix annandalei . Two different variations in color as mentioned in the original description were also observed: dark grey in the individuals from the rainy season of monsoon (Figure 12C, D, E, F), and paler grey marked with light yellow on the pronotum and hind femora in the individuals from the dry season prior to monsoon (Figure 12A, B, G, H). These forms are well adapted to match the surrounding colors which provide a degree of protection against potential predators and may be considered as wet season and dry season forms.
