I have been alerted to the fact that in the text we refer to the holotype of Rhamphocephalus as being a lower jaw. However, this would be the holotype of P. depressirostris, not the type specimen of the genus, which is a skull roof referred to R. prestwichi by Seeley (1880). This should not however, affect the differential diagnosis of Bellubrunnus and so is here only offered as additional information.
