Corrigendum and Addendum to: “A phylogenetically informed generic reclassification of the hemionitid ferns (Pteridaceae: Cheilanthoideae)” [in Taxon 74: 260–291. 2025]

Here we report on four separate nomenclatural issues that emerged after publication of our recent research article “A phylogenetically informed generic reclassification of the hemionitid ferns (Pteridaceae: Cheilanthoideae)” by Schuettpelz & al. (in Taxon 74(2): 260–291. 2025, https://doi.org/10.1002/tax.13314). We replace the illegitimate name Estrella Windham non Frenzel nec Pengju Liu & Mocz. with Estrellita, fix an incorrect basionym citation for Pellaeopsis buchananii, transfer the recently described Cheilanthes qiaojiaensis to Aleuritopteris, and challenge the parenthetical author attribution for Brasiliopteris pohliana by IPNI (2025). Estrellita Windham, nom. nov. pro Estrella Windham in Taxon 74(2): 278. 2025, nom. illeg. non Estrella Frenzel 1892 nec Estrella Pengju Liu & Mocz. 2019 – Type: Estrellita mollis (Kunze) Windham (≡ Notholaena mollis Kunze).

Pellaeopsis buchananii (Baker) Windham, comb. nov. ≡ Notholaena buchananii Baker in Hooker & Baker, Syn. Fil.: 373. 1868 ≡ Cheilanthes buchananii (Baker) Domin in Biblioth. Bot. 20 (85-1): 133. 1913.

Brasiliopteris J.Prado, Schuettp. & Yatsk. in Taxon 74(2): 275. 2025 – Type: Brasiliopteris pohliana (Mett.) J.Prado, Schuettp. & Yatsk. (≡ Cheilanthes pohliana Mett.).

Christenh. in Christenhusz & al., Global Fl. 4: 19. 2018. We thank E.A. Molinari-Novoa (Chess Consulting & Project and La Molina National Agrarian University) in Lima, Peru, for pointing out that our newly published genus name Estrella was an illegitimate homonym. We are also grateful to C.J. Rothfels (Utah State University) in Logan, Utah, for bringing the Chu & al. (2021) publication to our attention, and for attempting on our behalf to persuade IPNI to accept our interpretation of the parenthetical author for Brasiliopteris pohliana.
