Erratum to: Polar Biol DOI 10.1007/s00300-014-1585-8

The name of the new species Nymphon nakamurai described in the paper entitled “Pycnogonida from the Bellingshausen and Amundsen Seas: taxonomy and biodiversity” (DOI: 10.1007/s00300-014-1585-8) was already held by a pycnogonid species described by Stock (1994). Therefore, Nymphon nakamurai is an invalid name for this new species, and the correct name is Nymphon koichiroi.
