 pi. 1, fig. 3, pi. 2, fig. 4, 1955. 



Type: Hypsochila {Chionanema) penai Ureta. Type by original 

 designation. 



This subgenus is supposed to differ from the typical one in having 

 a straighter costal margin on forewing with a narrower discal cell as 

 well as in certain venational characters and in having proportionally 

 larger eyes. As mentioned above none of the described characters 

 seem to be of more than specific value to the present writer. 



Venation: Forewing with 113+^4+5 (stated in original description 

 as R3+4+II5) longer than in Hypsochila {Hypsochila), with M2 and M3 

 nearly parallel and with Cu, and Cu2 subparallel with greater diverg- 

 ence distally than in Hypsochila {Hypsochila). Hindwing with veins 

 less divergent outward. 



Legs: Not mentioned in original description. 



Genitalia: According to the original figure (loc. cit., pi. 2, fig. 4) not 

 differing except specifically from the typical subgenus. 



Habitus: Wings above with marginal sagittate markings greatly 

 enlarged and entu'ely confluent with submarginal series of spots 

 causing the entire apex of wing down to vein Cui to be largely black 

 except for small yellowish white dashes between the veins. Under- 

 surfaces with ground color white and with all dark markings heavier 

 than in Hypsochila.

 vol. 21, No. 9. pp. 105, 144, 1867. 



Type: Pieris nymphula Blanchard=PA?//ia nymphula (Blanchard). 

 Type by reason of being the sole included species, 



Phulia difl'crs from all the other genera in habitus and from all 

 except Piercolias {Pierphulia) in the claws. From Hypsochila, Theo- 

 chila, Tatochila, and Piercolias {Piercolias) it differs in having three or 

 only two radial veins on the forewing. From Theochila and Tatochila 

 it differs also in lacking tibial spurs. From Piercolias it differs in 

 addition in the form of the uncus, in the female genitalia, and in the 

 position of vein Cu2 of hindwing. 



Venation: Figures 20, 21. Forewhig with three radial veins, 

 R4 and Rs having anastomosed with R3 or with two radial veins, 

 R3+4+5 having anastomosed with Mj. Vein R, about one-half or less 

 than two-thirds length of R2 in the typical subgenus and in the other
