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) = Chreonoma rigida Gressitt, 1941 = Chreonoma rigida Gressitt, 1942 homonym and syn. nov.; Tetraophthalmus sikang (Gressitt, 1941) = Chreonoma sikang Gressitt, 1941 = Chreonoma sikanga Gressitt, 1942, syn. nov.; Anastathes parva hainana Gressitt, 1941 = Anastathes parva hainana Gressitt, 1942, homonym and syn. nov.
