Leptoglossus is a genus of true bugs in the leaf-footed bug family and the tribe Anisoscelini. Species are distributed throughout the Americas, with some records in eastern & southern Asia and Europe. Several species are economic pests of agricultural crops. Like members of some other genera in the family, these bugs have leaflike dilations of the hind tibia. Several species are of economic importance, and one species, L. chilensis, has been reported to bite humans.

Westwood in 1840 as an insect found in Mexico, with no additional location information. In Introduction to Entomology, part of The Naturalist's Library by James Duncan, the species is described as similar, but distinct from, Anisoscelis hymenipherus, and native to Mexico: "A third species, undescribed, closely allied to the latter, but smaller, with the thorax and hemelytra entirely fulvous red, and the legs entirely pale ochreous, is contained in the collection of the Jardin des Plantes, and to which the specific name of affinis may be applied."

Stål originally described the species as coming from "Taiti" (sic). However, Brailovsky (2016) notes that the Anisoscelis genus has an exclusive Neotropical distribution and the original data must have been the result of a mistaken label.
