Superfamily: Coccoidea
Family: Diaspididae
Subfamily: Diaspidinae
Tribe: Diaspidini

Diaspidina is a subtribe of armored scale insects.[1] It occurs mostly in the Americas and Africa, with a few species in tropical Asia.[2] In the Americas Pseudoparlatoria is the largest genus, with Diaspis second; in Africa Diaspis is the largest genus.[2] The grouping identified by Balachowsky in 1954 as the subtribe Diaspidina,[3] are now the tribe Diaspidini.[2]

Anderson found the Diaspidina grouping to constitute a clade with core genera: Carulaspis, Diaspis and Epidiaspis.[4] and one of three sister-clades in the Diaspidini, the other two being the Chionaspidina and the Fioriniina.[5]
