Scientific Reports 3: Article number: 1756 ; published online: 30 April 2013; updated on: 28 July 2015

The Introduction of this Article incorrectly cites reference 4 [Groves, C. & Shekelle, M. The genera and species of Tarsiidae. Int J Prim 31, 1071-1082 (2010)] as supporting the prosimian monophyly hypothesis. This citation should refer to Reference 3 [Chatterjee, H. J., Ho, S. Y., Barnes, I. & Groves, C. Estimating the phylogeny and divergence times of primates using a supermatrix approach. BMC Evol Biol 9, 259 (2009)]. Other citations of reference 4 in the Article are correct.
