Domain: Eukaryota

Order: Hemiptera
Suborder: Sternorrhyncha
Family: Diaspididae
Tribe: Diaspidini
Subtribe: Chionaspidina

Chionaspidina is a subtribe of armored scale insects established by Borchenius.[1] But unlike many of the subtribes recognized by Borchenius, this one was found to be morphologically valid by Takagi.[2][3] Similarly, in molecular analysis, Andersen et al. found a clade roughly corresponding to the subtribe Chionaspidina.[4]

Geographical sampling and analysis indicated a number of unnamed species in the genus Chionaspis and by inference in the Chionaspidina.[5]
