Taeniopoda is a genus of horse lubbers, fairly large grasshoppers in the family Romaleidae that are native to southwestern United States, Mexico and Central America. There are about 12 described species in Taeniopoda.[1][2][3][4] Taeniopoda is very closely related to Romalea (members of the two genera can even produce fertile hybrids in captivity[5]), leading some recent authorities to consider the former a junior synonym the latter.[4][6]
