Hooded grasshoper in western ghats of India. Spotted at a hill station called Peermade near to Periyar Tiger Reserve. Seems similar to Teratodes monticollis but the absence of yellow-orange edge of pronotum, the distinctive white streak on the posterio-ventral edge of the hood and the reddish-brown tibia and tarsus other than green in monticollis suggests a different species. Identification needed.
