Homopus is a genus of tiny tortoises in the family Testudinidae, endemic to southern Africa. Three species formerly included in Homopus were reclassified[when?] into the genus Chersobius,[citation needed] leaving two remaining as Homopus: the common padloper (H. areolatus) and the greater padloper (H. femoralis).
