Diagnosis. According to Rosa et al. (2016), Holophris Mocsáryis closely related to Omalus Panzer, 1801, Philoctetes, Pseudomalus Ashmead, 1902, and Leptopareia, but it can be differentiated from the latter four genera by the following characters: transpleural carina extending below propodeal angle; head, in frontal view, with distinct convex upper profile, in lateral view, with distinct subgenal area; double omaulus triangularly shaped.

Remarks. The feminine gender of the genus name was indicated by Rosa et al. 2016; previous authors supposed it was masculine.
