After a span of 116 years, a first new species of twighopper, (genus Cladonotus Saussure) was discovered from the Sinharaja rainforest of Sri Lanka by Croatian and German researchers.
This cockcomb-shaped twighopper has been named as Cladonotus bhaskari after Dhaneesh Bhaskar, a young conservation biologist and grasshopper expert from Kerala Forest Research Institute.
