In the main text of this Article, ‘a Bennett’s tree-kangaroo (Dendrolagus bennettianus De Vis, 1886)’ should have stated ‘a red-necked wallaby (Macropus rufogriseus Desmarest, 1817)’, and all occurrences of ‘Bennett’s tree-kangaroo’ in the text should have been ‘red-necked wallaby’. This error resulted from a mistranslation from German to English of Bennettkänguru’ (red-necked wallaby)  as ‘Bennett-Baumkänguru’(Bennett’s tree-kangaroo). No molecular data were included in the paper from this animal, so no changes are necessary to any data deposited in online databases. The original Article has been corrected online.
