If n is divisible by at least three distinct primes, the dihedral group D n can be generated by three nonredundant, involuntary elements. We study the Cayley graphs resulting from such a presentation of D n for several families of n and for all admissible n < 120. All these graphs are trivalent, bipartite, Hamiltonian, of girth 6, and are regular representations of their groups. For each n , the isomorphism classes are determined and the graphs are described by a simple code.
