It was erected to include species lacking sufficient morphological information to allow them to be classified in the appropriate genus.

As a result, species with old descriptions that were never redescribed, so that their internal anatomy remains unknown, cannot be assigned to the correct genus.

Thus, the genus Diversibipalium was created to temporarily accommodate species of the subfamily Bipaliinae whose anatomy of the copulatory apparatus is still unknown.

[1] Diversibipalium multilineatum (Makino & Shirasawa, 1983) is a large-size invasive species, originally from Japan, now found in several European countries.

Diversibipalium mayottensis Justine, Gastineau, Gros, Gey, Ruzzier, Charles & Winsor, 2022 is a small-size species, found only in the French island of Mayotte, in the Indian Ocean.
