'''''Diploscapter''''' is a genus of nematodes in the family [Rhabditidae](/source/Rhabditidae).

== Phylogenetic studies ==
The genus ''Diploscapter'' groups with the genera ''[Protorhabditis](/source/Protorhabditis)'' and ''[Prodontorhabditis](/source/Prodontorhabditis)'' to form the 'Protorhabditis' group, the sister group of the ''[Caenorhabditis](/source/Caenorhabditis)'' species, all included in the 'Eurhabditis' group of [Rhabditidae](/source/Rhabditidae) genera.<ref>The phylogenetic relationships of ''Caenorhabditis'' and other rhabditids.
