After the paper by Guzmán et al. (2016) was published, an error related to the catalog numbers of the fossils specimens was pointed out. The codes UN-DG-CR-021 and UN-DG-CR-022 had already been used in the description of Colombian specimens of the lobster Meyeria magna M'Coy, 1849, in the publications of González-León (2016) and González-León et al. (2016), forcing us to replace these numbers. By mutual agreement between the authors, new catalog numbers were assigned by the Paleontological Collection of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia.

The correct catalog numbers are found below (corrections are in bold).

In 4. Material (p. 95). Two specimens are deposited in the Paleontological Collection of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Facultad de Ciencias, Departamento de Geociencias, Bogotá D.C., Colombia, under catalog numbers UN-DG-CR-031 and UN-DG-CR-032.

In Figure 3 caption (p. 97). Ophthalmoplax andina n. sp., Lodolitas de Aguacaliente Formation, late Campanian. A) Dorsal carapace morphology, holotype UN-DG-CR-031. B) Dorsal carapace morphology, paratype UN-DG-CR-032. Scale bars = 1cm.

In Figure 4 caption (p. 98). Line drawing of Ophthalmoplax andina n. sp., based on holotype UN-DG-CR-031, sp. A) Bifid rostrum, B) Orbital spines, C) Posterolateral margin, D) Anterolateral margin, E) Protogastric region, F) Mesogastric region, G) Metagastric region, H) Urogastric region, I) Branchial lobes, J) Cardiac region, K) Metabranchial region, L) Hepatic region, M) Anterolateral spine, N) Epibranchial region, O) Mesobrachial region, P) Lateral spine. Scale bar = 1cm.

In 5. Systematic Paleontology: Material (p. 98). Two small carapaces, holotype UN-DG-CR-031; paratype UN-DG-CR-032.

In text Figure 5 (p. 99). Ophthalmoplax spp. from different localities and ages. A) Ophthalmoplax andina n. sp., holotype UN-DG-CR-031, upper Campanian, Colombia. B) O. minimus, upper Campanian, ~76 Ma, Morocco. C-H) O. brasiliana, Upper Cretaceous of the Americas. C) Lower Maastrichtian, ~ 70 Ma, Mississippi, USA. D) Lower Maastrichtian, ~ 70 Ma, North Carolina, USA. E) Upper Maastrichtian, ~ 66.8 Ma, Colombia. F) Upper Maastrichtian, ~ 66.8 Ma, North Carolina, USA. G) Uppermost Maastrichtian, ~ 66.2 Ma, Mexico. H) Uppermost Maastrichtian, ~ 66.2 Ma, Mississippi, USA. Scale bars = 1cm.
