'''''Cayetunya''''' is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from Central and South America. It was first described by the Czech entomologist Jan Bechyné in 1958.
Most species in this genus are known to display strong sexual dimorphism, such that males and females could be mistaken for separate genera. The female of ''C. clarki'' is unknown.<ref name="Flowers1997">{{cite journal|last=Flowers|first=R.
