The original version of this Article contained errors in the name of the locality of the holotype of Yanliaomyzon occicor. In the Results, the Horizon and locality for Yanliaomyzon occisor incorrectly read “Tiaojishan Formation, Oxfordian, earliest Late Jurassic, ca. 158.58–160 million years ago (Ma)19; Daxishan, Linglongta Town, Jianchang County, Liaoning Province (Holotype), and Nanshimen Village, Gangou Town, Qinglong County, Hebei Province (Paratype), China.” The correct version states ‘Toudaoyingzi Town’ in place of ‘Linglongta Town’. The Methods subsection Fossil Specimens incorrectly read “The specimens of Yanliaomyzon occisor gen. et sp. nov., IVPP V 15830 comes from the Tiaojishan Formation, earliest Late Jurassic, ca. 158.58–160 Ma19 of Daxishan, Linglongta Town, Jianchang County, Liaoning Province, and IVPP V 18956A, B from the corresponding layers of Nanshimen Village, Gangou Town, Qinglong County, Hebei Province, China.” The correct version states ‘Toudaoyingzi Town’ in place of ‘Linglongta Town’. This has been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the Article.

The original version of the Reporting Summary associated with this Article also incorrectly read ‘Linglongta Town’ for the locality of the holotype of Yanliaomyzon occicor.
