About Diaspidistis (Hemiptera, Diaspididae) with description of two new species. The genus Diaspidistis Hempel, 1900 was studied. Diaspidistis multilobis Hempel, 1900 and D. squamosa Hempel, 1937 were redescribed. New combinations are proposed: D. gomescostai (Lepage & Giannotti, 1946), D. memorabilis (Ferris, 1941), D. multipunctata (Lepage & Giannotti, 1946) and D. petasata (Ferris, 1942). Two new species are described and illustrated: Diaspidistis fonsecai sp. nov. and Diaspidistis tucumanensis sp. nov. A key to the species is presented based on adult females.
