'''''Agetinella''''' is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It contains only one species, '''''Agetinella minuta''''', which is known from Swan River in Western Australia. The genus and species were first described by the German entomologist Martin Jacoby, in an article posthumously published in 1908. The genus was originally assigned to the tribe Eumolpini, but later leaf beetle classifications instead place it as ''incertae sedis'' within Eumolpinae.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Seeno|first1=T.N.|last2=Wilcox|first2=J.A.|year=1982|title=Leaf beetle genera (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae)|journal=Entomography|volume=1|pages=1–221}}</ref>

In a 1990 PhD thesis by Chris A.M. Reid, it was determined that ''Agetinella'' actually belonged to Cryptocephalinae, and is a synonym of ''Leasia''.<ref>{{cite thesis|type=PhD|last=Reid|first=C. A.
