$ mkgroup -l -g Users
Users:S-1-5-32-545:545:

That works, but this is still confusing:

$ mkgroup -l -g nonexist
mkgroup (391): [0] The operation completed successfully.
 (nonexist)

whereas mkpasswd reports:

$ mkpasswd -l -u nonexist
mkpasswd (444): [2221] The user name could not be found.

It may be that mkgroup needs some special handling for this particular case.
