Subfamily: Diaspidinae
Tribe: Diaspidini

Diaspidini is a tribe in the armored scale insect family Diaspididae. The insects are highly invasive, and are significant economic pests found worldwide.[1][2][3][4]

Diaspidini contains three subtribes:

  • Chionaspidina (cosmopolitan except South America, 48 genera)
  • Diaspidina (cosmopolitan except Australasia, 13 genera)
  • Fioriniina (almost exclusively Old World, 64 genera)

In addition, the following genera are classified as members of Diaspidini with uncertain placement to subtribe (incertae sedis):[3][4]

Six additional subtribes have been recognized in the past. According to research published in 2019,[3]

  • Protodiaspidina and Phenacaspidina are now included in Chionaspidina.
  • Augulaspidina and Kuwanaspidina are now included in Fioriniina.
  • The species formerly in Sclopetaspidina and Xerophilaspidina have been classified in various subtribes, tribes, and subfamilies.
