Extract

In the recent paper on Mississippian and Pennsylvanian polyplacophorans (Hoare and Mapes, 1985) the proposed new genus Euleptochiton was inadvertently assigned to the family Ochmazochitonidae Hoare and Smith, 1984, instead of the family Permochitonidae Sirenko and Starobogatov, 1977. In the same paper the estimated size of Colapterochiton decorus should read 5.5 cm.
