Australotymnes is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It contains only one species, Australotymnes jipijapa, and is found in Ecuador.^[1]

The generic name is a combination of Australo, from the Latin word australis (meaning "south"), and tymnes, from the genus Tymnes. The species is named after Jipijapa in the Manabí Province of Ecuador, the nearest town to where the holotype of the species was found.^[1]
