Tototlmimus is a genus of ornithomimosaur that lived in Mexico during the late Cretaceous. So far Tototlmimus is only known from fossils of some foot bones and fingers, and so it is hard to infer much about this dinosaur other than that it has been estimated to have been a medium sized ornithomimid.
