Agetinus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from Australia. The genus was originally named Agetus by Félicien Chapuis in 1874. However, the name Agetus was preoccupied by Agetus Kröyer, 1849 (in Crustacea), so the genus was renamed to Agetinus by Édouard Lefèvre in 1885.[1]
