Abstract: In naming the new species Hysterangium colossum (Elliott et al. 2015), we indicated that the epithet colossum was based on the Latin equivalent of the English adjective “colossal”. This Latin noun is actually “colosseus”, and so we have to make an orthographic correction as the correct Latin adjectival termination for “colossal” is “… eum ” (Simpson 1959: 116). The species epithet must therefore be corrected to “colosseum”. This does not affect the valid publication of the name in our paper (Art. 32.2).
