Abstract Using the Weinberg operator, we present a full collection of genuine two-loop models for neutrino mass generation, which contain a dark matter particle as one of the internal messengers. These models can be constructed simply by adding new fields that are singlets or doublets of SU(2)L. We ensure the stability of the dark matter candidate by the addition of a Z2 symmetry that will also be used to forbid tree level or one-loop diagrams. Thus we only present models where the main contribution for neutrinos masses is generated from the corresponding two-loop diagram. We also discuss a short outline corresponding to some phenomenological characteristics of these models.
