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]
- Furchadaspis MacGillivray 1921
- Gadaspis Borchsenius 1949
- Ischnaspis Douglas 1887
- Nimbaspis Balachowsky 1952
- Prodiaspis Young 1984
- Pygalataspis Ferris 1921
- Roureaspis Takagi 1997
- Trischnaspis Ben-Dov 1974
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.
