Several errors related to the numbering in the dichotomous key appearing in the above paper came to our attention after our manuscript was published. The correct numbering to enable accurate identification of the world Pseudobranchiomma species is provided here.

Key to species of Pseudobranchiomma

The number of Pseudobranchiomma species considered as currently valid (17) follows Knight-Jones and Giangrande (2003) but includes subsequently described species. This key is based largely on descriptions in the literature, and most of them do not include intraspecific variation, so caution should be taken if specimens diverge from statements in the key. Old descriptions also lack enough relevant information to clearly separate species. Therefore, such points of weakness in the key are marked with an asterisk (*).
