Correction: Support for a radiation of free-living flatworms in the African Great Lakes region and the description of five new Macrostomum species

Correction: Frontiers in Zoology (2023) 20:31 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12983-023-00509-9

Following publication of the original article [1], the authors reported an error in the spelling of a species name.

Based on the taxonomic code of zoology (https://code.iczn.org/formation-and-treatment-of-names/article-32-original-spellings), the species name “Macrostomum schäreri” in the article should be corrected to “Macrostomum schareri”.

The original article [1] has been updated.
