Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- Like Chorinea, the name Chroma was introduced in Griffith's Cuvier on the legend of a plate where it was treated as the name for a subgeneric unit, the legend on the plate reading : Barbiconis (Chroma) basilis (the name basilis being there accidentally misspelled "basalis". The attribution of the name to Gray rests upon the evidence already explained in connection with the name Chorinea. The name Chroma is invalid, as it is a junior objective synonym of Barbicornis Godart, [1824]. Cowan (1970: 44) stated:- "Barbiconis to read - Barbicornis". The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
