Genus correction: The name Rahona, which we recently proposed as a genus name for a basal avian from the Late Cretaceous of Madagascar (Reports, 20 Mar., p. 1915), is already occupied by the lymantriid lepidopteran Rahona Griveaud, (1). We therefore propose the replacement name Rahonavis for this genus, whose type species is Rahonavis ostromi.
