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.
