An erratum for HENRARD et al. (2022) is presented. The female dictynid specimen collected in the Jean Massart Botanical Garden (Brussels-Capital Region, Belgium), originally published as Nigma puella (Simon, 1870), has been morphologically re-examined and subjected to DNA-barcoding (COI) for species identification. The present investigation demonstrates that the specimen was misidentified, and is re-assigned to Nigma walckenaeri (Roewer, 1951).
