Andreone, D. B. Fenolio, and M. E. Walvoord, CURRENT HERPETOLOGY 22{1): 91-100, 2003 A recent paper describing two new Platype- lis species {P. tetra and P. mavomavo) by Andreone et al. (2003: see above) was accom- panied by three sets of erroneous drawings with misleading captions, giving incorrect and confusing information on these species. Here the authors provide corrected drawings and figure numeration. One major correction that. mm 3 mm Fig. 2. Particular of the head (A), hand (B), and foot (C) of the holotype of Platypelis tetra (male, MRSNA2174). was not in accord with what was reported in the text is that the pupils of both species are horizontal, not vertical. Furthermore, the tympanum, not shown in either of the original drawings, is actually visible in both species. The foot in the former Fig. 6C, attributed to P. mavomavo, in reality showed the foot of P. tetra. In the new figure, the foot is correctly portrayed, clearly showing the species' typical length reduction in toes I-III and the presence of enlarged, triangular toe pads. Finally, the former Fig. 5 caption actually corresponded to Fig. 6 and vice versa. The new Fig. 5 below has the right caption referring to the ventral view of the holotype of P. mavomavo, while Fig. 6 has the complete caption for the drawings of the head, hand, and foot of P.
