Dieunomia is a genus of sweat bees in the family Halictidae. There are about nine described species in Dieunomia.[1][2][3] These bees are relatively uncommon, and are larger than almost every other genus in Halictidae other than Nomia.[4] The wing has two submarginal cells, and the usual bent vein of the basal vein is only weakly present.[4] The male has greatly dilated middle tarsi.[4]
