Acronymolpus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. Four species were originally described for the genus[1]; however, they were later found to be the female and male forms of two previously described Stethotes species, which were then transferred to the genus.[2] The genus is endemic to New Caledonia.
Both species of the genus are sexually dimorphic; the females are large and reddish, and the males are small and black.[2]
