History
Pisita was a city in the Roman province of Africa Proconsularis. Its ruins are presumably at Bou-Chateur-Sidi-Mansour, in modern Tunisia.
It was also a diocese, whose bishop was a suffragan of the Metropolitan of Carthage.
Titular see
The diocese was nominally revived in 1933 as a Latin titular bishopric of the lowest (episcopal) rank, which since had these, near-consecutive incumbents:
- Giovanni C. Luigi Marinoni, Capuchin Franciscans (O.F.M. Cap.) (1936.07.21 – 1961.08.12) (later Archbishop)
- Yves-Georges-René Ramousse, Paris Foreign Missions Society (M.E.P.) (1962.11.12 – ...), Vicar Apostolic emeritus of Phnom Penh (Cambodia)
