'''''Australotymnes''''' is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. The genus contains only one species, '''''Australotymnes jipijapa''''', found in dry forest in western Ecuador. Adults of the species were collected from vegetation during the rainy season.<ref name="Flowers2009"/>
The generic name is a combination of ''Australo'', from the Latin word ''australis'' (meaning "south"), and ''tymnes'', from the genus ''Tymnes'' (which ''Australotymnes'' strongly resembles). The species is named after Jipijapa in the Manabí Province of Ecuador, the nearest town to where the holotype of the species was found.<ref name="Flowers2009"/>
