The genus is poorly studied, likely with multiple undescribed species.[1][2] The type species is Diolcogaster melligaster (Provancher, 1886), formerly Microgaster melligaster.[3] Species in this genus parasitize lepidopterans and are geographically widespread, with species found in Asia and North America.[3]
