ERRATUM

In Tribulus Vol. 15.1, (p. 19), the note 'A recent sighting of the Pomegranate Playboy butterfly, Deudorix livia, at Khutwah, Oman (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae)' was credited to a single author, Omar Naseer, the name of the second author, Dr. Michael P.T. Gillett, having been inadvertently omitted. The error is regretted. [Published in Tribulus 16.2]
