Elasmopoda
''Elasmopoda'' is a genus in the "true bug" family Coreidae, order Hemiptera. The genus is native to parts of eastern and southern Africa. The species are large "twig wilter" bugs, generally brown or greyish. The femora The femur (; ), or thigh bone, is the proximal bone of the hindlimb in tetrapod vertebrates. The head of the femur articulates with the acetabulum in the pelvic bone forming the hip joint, while the distal part of the femur articulates with t ... of the hind legs are somewhat enlarged and bent, but less than those of some related genera, and either unarmed, or less armed with spikes.

Coreidae Genera
Coreidae is a large family (biology), family of predominantly sap-sucking insects in the Hemipteran suborder Heteroptera. The name "Coreidae" derives from the genus ''Coreus'', which derives from the Ancient Greek () meaning bedbug. As a family, the Coreidae are Cosmopolitan distribution, cosmopolitan, but most of the species are tropical or subtropical. Common names and significance The common names of the Coreidae vary regionally. Leaf-footed bug refers to leaf-like expansions on the Insect morphology#Legs, legs of some species, generally on the hind tibiae. In North America, the pest status of species such as ''Anasa tristis'' on squash (plant), squash plants and other Cucurbitaceae, cucurbits gave rise to the name squash bugs. The Coreidae are called twig-wilters or tip-wilters in parts of Africa and Australia because many species feed on young twigs, injecting enzymes that wikt:macerate, macerate the tissues of the growing tips and cause them to wilt abruptly.
