Giru Marcelli, located in present Algeria, was among the many town in the Roman province of Numidia which were important enough to become a suffragan diocese in the papal sway, but faded completely.

It has had the following incumbents, of the fitting Episcopal (lowest) rank, with an archiepiscopal exception:
