When the name Entomoneis annagodhei Al-Handal & Mucko was published (Al Handal et al. Citation2020), an error was made in giving the name of the species. The species is named after the late Professor Dr Anna Godhe and hence the name should have the feminine ending -ae. As this is a correctable error according to art. 60.8 of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (Shenzhen Code), we therefore wish to correct the name to Entomoneis annagodheae Al-Handal & Mucko (Turland et al. Citation2018).
The PhycoBank registration for this species name, http://phycobank.org/102503 shows the correction.
