In the original publication, Fig. 1 mistakenly cited Proformica pilinotum sp. nov., which is a nomen 
nudum. The intended name was Proformica longipilosa sp. nov., which is reflected in the updated 
version of the figure provided below, which also includes a correction of the year of publication cited in 
the figure legend.
