Formula 1 b3 b5, so in the key of C that would be C Eb Gb 864xxx. Handy to learn for when your not sure whether you should be playing a dim7 chord or a m7b5 chord - this chord covers both by missing out the 7th!

Here are dim chords in open postion for the CAGED shapes:
Cdim: x31x12 (can use thumb on the 5th string if you can't stretch up with your little finger) [EDITED thanks to Phil_aka_Pip's post below]
Adim: x01215 (top string optional - IMO sounds better without)
Gdim: 31x023
Edim: 0120x3 (could play open top string but then you've got nothing with which to dampen the B string)
Ddim: xx0131
