The matador bug, Anisoscelis alipes, is a species of leaf-footed bug in the family Coreidae.

It has been observed in Costa Rica, Colombia, Panama, Ecuador, Venezuela,[2] and Mexico.

[1] It was first described by French entomologist Félix Édouard Guérin-Méneville in 1833.

Anisoscelis flavolineatus, previously considered a distinct species, is currently considered a synonym of A.

[1] The large colourful flags on the legs are not used in reproductive competition,[3] but appears to have an aposematic anti-predator function with birds.
