Popis: The genus Painjunirmus Ansari, 1947 is resurrected from synonymy with Brueelia Kéler, 1936, and considered a subgenus of Brueelia Kéler, 1936. A formal redescription and diagnosis for Painjunirmus is given. Four of the five previously described species of Painjunirmus are redescribed and illustrated: Brueelia (Painjunirmus) brevipennis Ansari, 1956, from Argya squamiceps squamiceps (Cretzschmar, 1826); Brueelia (Painjunirmus) chilchil Ansari, 1955, from Argya caudata eclipes (Hume, 1877); Brueelia (Painjunirmus) magnini Ansari, 1956a, from Argya fulva acaciae (Lichtenstein, 1823); Brueelia (Painjunirmus) pengya (Ansari, 1947) from Argya striata sindiana (Ticehurst, 1920) and A. s. striata (Dumont, 1823). The species Brueelia (Painjunirmus) parvus (Mey, 2017) is discussed. The species Brueelia (Painjunirmus) alba sp. nov. is described from a Nepalese population of Argya striata striata (Dumont, 1823). A neotype is designated for Brueelia chilchil Ansari, 1956. A key to almost all species of the subgenus Painjunirmus is provided.
