The quasiparticle interference (QPI) patterns in BiS2-based superconductors are theoretically investigated by taking into account the spin-orbital coupling and assuming the recently proposed dx2−y2∗-wave pairing symmetry. We found two distinct scattering wave vectors whose evolution can be explained based on the evolution of the constant-energy contours. The QPI spectra presented in this paper can thus be compared with future scanning tunneling microscopy experiments to test whether the pairing symmetry is dx2−y2∗-wave in BiS2-based superconductors.
