Abstract
We report abnormal individuals of Ramanella variegata, Lycodon aulicus (sensu lato), Bungarus caeruleus which exhibited variation from the ‘typical morphs’ of their respective species. Also we report a rarely recorded species Polypedates cf. leucomystax (from south India), from the Mannampandal area of Tamil Nadu. These observations based on voucher photographs are presented for the first time.
Key words : Morph, aberration, variation, phenotypic plasticity, polymorphism
