Erratum

Case 3801 was closed in BZN 76: 207 with an erroneous title that read “Proposal to remove Dicynodon turpior Huene, 1935 (Synapsida: Dicynodontia) from the Official List of Specific Names in Zoology and place Dinodontosaurus pedroanum Tupi-Caldas, 1936 on the Official Index of Rejected and Invalid Specific Names in Zoology'. It should read ‘Procheneosaurus Matthew, 1920 and Tetragonosaurus Parks, 1931 (Archosauria, Ornithischia): request to set aside Opinion 193 and remove Procheneosaurus Official List of Generic Names in Zoology, and Tetragonosaurus from the Official Index of Rejected and Invalid Generic Names in Zoology'.
