Herochroma subspoliata (Prout, 1916) Herochroma xuthopletes (Prout, 1934) ("stat. rev.") Notes The name and locality of Herochroma costata were published in Kirti et al. (2012) , but its description and diagnosis can only be found in the first author's unpublished thesis. This species name is thus considered a nomen nudum. Herochroma subspoliata xuthopletes (Prout, 1934) was elevated from subspecies to species by Pitkin et al. (2007) .
