An intriguing worker morph of Diacamma ceylonense Emery, 1897 is reported here from the Western Ghats of India. Myrmecological literature abounds in such anomalies; however, this is a first such report for this genus. An asymmetrical teratological abnormality manifested in the right antennae as an atrocious form is reported and discussed here.
