ANTHROPOLOGY Correction for “Primitive Old World monkey from the earliest Miocene of Kenya and the evolution of cercopithecoid bilophodonty,” by D. Tab Rasmussen, Anthony R. Friscia, Mercedes Gutierrez, John Kappelman, Ellen R. Miller, Samuel Muteti, Dawn Reynoso, James B. Rossie, Terry L. Spell, Neil J. Tabor, Elizabeth Gierlowski-Kordesch, Bonnie F. Jacobs, Benson Kyongo, Mathew Macharwas, and Francis Muchemi, which was first published March 11, 2019; 10.1073/pnas.1815423116 (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 116, 6051–6056).
The authors wish to note the following: “We recently proposed Alophia as a genus name for an Old World Monkey from the earliest Miocene of Kenya, but this name is already occupied by the monospecific lepidopteran genus Alophia Ragonot (1). We propose a new replacement name Alophe for the genus, whose type species is Alophe metios (Rasmussen et al.) (2). The correction was registered at ZooBank under urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:962FABF3-5008-4A96-A8A3-FA68F837D82A.”
