Abstract:
An article published by Gressitt (1941) has been ignored by all longicornists, including Gressitt himself. However, according to ICZN, it meets all criteria as an official publication, and this status affects three taxa that were formally described therein: Bacchisa (Bacchisa) rigida (Gressitt, 1941) = Chreonomarigida Gressitt, 1941 = Chreonomarigida Gressitt, 1942 homonym and syn. nov.; Tetraophthalmussikang (Gressitt, 1941) = Chreonomasikang Gressitt, 1941 = Chreonomasikanga Gressitt, 1942, syn. nov.; Anastathesparvahainana Gressitt, 1941 = Anastathesparvahainana Gressitt, 1942, homonym and syn. nov.

Disorders of Leukocytes
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes.
