In Dante’s Inferno, which group is not included in the circle of Limbo?

The previous answer is correct but to summarize for those on OW, the answer would be "unbaptized children who died in infancy."

Well, I don't know whether you have any options, so I cannot completely answer your question. However, according to Dante, virtuous non-Christians, as well as unbaptized infants could be found in Limbo. So anyone who doesn't belong to one of these groups wouldn't be found in Dante's Limbo.
The virtuous non-Christians are people such as ancient Greek and Roman thinkers, medieval non-Christians such as Saladin, Islamic philosopher Avicenna, etc.
