Antipodiphora Schmitz is returned to the status of being a subgenus of Abaristophora Schmitz. A modern species A. nepalensis Disney sp. n. is described from Nepal. The fossil species Puliciphora rontaleri Disney sp, n. is described. Critical features of the type species of this genus, P. lucifera Dahl, are figured. The recognition of P. tokyoensis Kinoshita is clarified.
