reduced and modified signa in the females are so unique that they are 

 not known to occur elsewhere in the subfamily. To separate Injra- 

 phulia from Phulia as a distinct genus would mean overlooking the 

 very great similarities in habitus, in claws, and in venation. For 

 these reasons, Infraphulia is treated here as a subgenus in the genus 

 Phvlia. 



Phulia {Phulia) Herrich-Schaeffer 



Reference and type species as given above under the genus. 



Distinguished from Phulia (Infraphulia) chiefly in the uncus and 

 harpe of the male and in the female genitalia. 



Venation: Figure 20. Forewing with three radial veins, R«^.5 

 having anastomosed with R3; Ri short, being from less than two-thirds 

 to about one-half the length of R2. Hindwing with distance between 

 base of Cui and Cu2 not distinctly greater than distance between 

 Re and Mi. 



Legs: Paronychium (fig. 28) greatly reduced, being slightly less 

 than one-third the length of claw, triangular in shape and with its 

 width at base about one-half its length. 



Genitalia. Male (figs. 4, 12) with lateroventral wall at base of 

 uncus well folded inward and closely appressed upon its inner side; 

 subscaphium absent; with a large weakly sclerotized clasper flap on 

 inner face of harpe near middle and with harpe acuminate. 



Female (fig. 37) with eighth tergite entire and semiannulate; 

 eighth sternite with inner genital plate not reduced, divided into a 

 broad subtriangular shaped anterior lobe and a smaller finger-like 

 projection posterior to this and with both of these parts entirely and 

 thickly setulose; signum of the common pierid type, being a single 

 long bilobed and heavily dentate bar on dorsal surface of bursa near 

 opening of ductus bursae.

Phulia (Infraphulia), new subgenus 



Type: Phulia nymphula var. Ulimani Weymer^^PhuIia (Infra- 

 phulia) illimani Weymer. 



This subgenus is unique in the Pierinae in lacking the accessory 

 pouch of the bursa copula trix. It differs also from Phulia (Phulia) 

 in the uncus and harpe.
