Dirhinus sp., photographed by D. Magdalena Sorger.

Belongs within: Chalcidoidea.

The Dirhininae are a group of chalcidid wasps with the frons angulately produced forwards; in Dirhinus, it is divided into a pair of edged horns. Dirhinus species are parasites in fly puparia, including those of a number of synanthropic species (Bouček 1988).
