Summary: We introduce two notions for flows (or one-parameter automorphism groups) on quasi-diagonal $C^*$-algebras, quasi-diagonal and pseudo-diagonal flows; the former being apparently stronger than the latter. We derive basic facts about these flows and give various examples. In addition we extend results of Voiculescu from quasi-diagonal $C^*$-algebras to these flows.
