Text Correction
There was an error in the original publication. The genus name Pleuropyge Santiago-Valentín et al., 2025, assigned to a holoplanktonic nudibranch (Mollusca: Gastropoda) [1], is homonymous with the fossil sponge genus Pleuropyge Schrammen, 1912, which was described in Schrammen [2]. Therefore, we changed the name Pleuropyge Santiago-Valentín et al., 2025 to Holopleuropyge Santiago-Valentín et al., 2025. Consequently, the name of the new species is now Holopleuropyge melaquensis Santiago-Valentín et al., 2025.
A correction has been made to the abstract, results, discussion, figure legends, Figure 4 and Supplementary File. The corrected Figure 4 appears below:
Figure 4.
Systematic position of Holopleuropyge melaquensis gen. et sp. nov. recovered from analysis of Bayesian inference (BI) and the maximum likelihood (ML), using concatenated mitochondrial (COI, 16S mtDNA) and nuclear (H3) gene sequences. The values of each node correspond to the posterior probability and bootstrap values of major clades that were reconstructed with BI and ML strict consensus tree, respectively (BI/ML). The green box delineates the Phylliroidae family. New species sequences are in bold. GenBank accession numbers are provided in Table S2.
Genus name Pleuropyge changed to Holopleuropyge.
A correction has been made to the etymology section:
3.3. Etymology
The generic name Holopleuropyge is derived from the Greek words holos (=entire), plevra (=side), and pygí (=anus); in reference to the position of the anus, the main characteristic that separates these organisms from the rest of the Phylliroidae family. The species name melaquensis refers to the locality San Patricio Melaque, near the three collection sites.
The correction has also been made in The Official Registry of Zoological Nomenclature (Zoobank):
Genus: Holopleuropyge gen. nov.
Zoobank ID: urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:007961CC-2973-4F0D-AD8C-481E7F142765
Species: Holopleuropyge melaquensis sp. nov.
Zoobank ID: urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:D16D8C61-3903-40AB-8400-F07A4221C694
The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
