We proposed the name Wollastonia De Mattia, Neiber & Groh, 2018 for a small group of land snails that are endemic to the island of Porto Santo and some of its sourrounding islet in the Madeiran Archipelago (De Mattia et al. 2018). Unfortunately, and only explicable as the consequence of a whole chain of small mistakes or omissions, it slipped our attention that the name is a junior homonym of Wollastonia Heer, 1852 (Coleoptera), Wollastonia Horn, 1873 (Coleoptera) and Wollastonia Machado, 1984 (Coleoptera) (see Heer 1852: 13, Horn 1873: 433–434, Machado 1984: 131). Consequently, the genus needs a new name and we herewith propose Wollastonaria nom. n. as a new replacement name for Wollastonia De Mattia, Neiber & Groh, 2018. The type species of Wollastonaria nom. n. is the nominal species Helix [Helicella] turricula R. T. Lowe, 1831. A detailed description of the genus is given in De Mattia et al. (2018) under the name Wollastonia. Included are the following species and subspecies: Wollastonaria turricula (R. T. Lowe, 1831), comb. n., Wollastonaria vermetiformis (R. T. Lowe, 1855), comb. n., Wollastonaria ripkeni (De Mattia & Groh, 2018), comb. n., Wollastonaria falknerorum (Groh, Neiber & De Mattia, 2018), comb. n., Wollastonaria leacockiana (Wollaston, 1878), comb. n., Wollastonaria beckmanni (De Mattia & Groh, 2018), comb. n., Wollastonaria jessicae jessicae (De Mattia, Neiber & Groh, 2018), comb. n., Wollastonaria jessicae monticola (De Mattia, Neiber & Groh, 2018), comb. n., Wollastonaria klausgrohi (De Mattia & Neiber, 2018), comb. n., Wollastonaria oxytropis (R. T. Lowe, 1831), comb. n., Wollastonaria subcarinulata (Wollaston, 1878), comb. n., and Wollastonaria inexpectata (De Mattia & Groh, 2018), comb. n.

Fig. 15 should read Caseolus (Leptostictea) leptosticus, Ponta do Garajau, Madeira.

Fig. 16 should read Caseolus (Helicomela) punctulatus punctulatus, Fonte da Areia.
