Genus:	Dinarmus Thomson, 1878

Dinarmus is a genus of wasps belonging to the family Pteromalidae. ^[1]

The genus has almost cosmopolitan distribution. ^[1] Many species in this genus are parasitoids, and some species (such as D. basalis ^[2] and D. vagabundus ^[3] ) are used in integrated pest management to prevent the destruction of cowpea crops by Callosobruchus larvae.
