Resolving and disambiguating the many names given to fossil and Recent Crassatellidae is sometimes a knotty problem, exacerbated by the subtle differences between taxa and many applications of simple descriptive specific epithets ('sulcata', 'rostrata', 'compressa' etc.) leading to homonyms requiring resolution. The common decision to (perhaps) soften the blow of replacing someone's name by erecting an eponym as a replacement to honour them has led to further unresolved homonyms and taxonomic ambiguities.

Article Synopsis
  • * A new species, Lygodactylus lobeke sp. nov., was identified from a female in Cameroon and a male in Angola, which highlighted existing issues in distinguishing certain candidate species among the Lygodactylus groups.
  • * This new species is small and lacks vibrant color patterns, differing from closely related species like L. fischeri, and has been confirmed as a distinct clade through genetic analysis, with known habitats in the Lower Guinea rainforests.

Refractory autoimmune mutilineage cytopenias can present in childhood associated with chronic nonmalignant lymphoproliferation (splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, and/or lymphadenopathy). Cytopenias due to peripheral destruction and sequestration have been well recognized since the 1950s and are often lumped together as eponymous syndromes, such as Evans syndrome and Canale-Smith syndrome. Though their clinical and genetic diagnostic workup may appear daunting, it can provide the basis for early intervention, genetic counseling, and empirical and targeted therapies.

We present the case of a 73-year-old woman with coronary artery-left ventricular multiple microfistulae, who was admitted with symptoms and ECG suggestive of coronary artery disease. Coronary angiography revealed tortuous coronary arteries with multiple microfistulae between the left coronary artery and the left ventricle, as well as between the right coronary artery and the left ventricle. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) was also able to clearly demonstrate the presence of the microfistulae with their direction of blood flow towards the left ventricle.
