%X Pickford (2012) inadvertently figured¡ªwith an incorrect catalogue number¡ªan unpublished male upper canine of a hominoid primate from the Vall¨¨s-Pened¨¨s Basin (without specifying its locality of provenance), and attributed it to the Late Miocene fossil great ape Hispanopithecus laietanus. In fact, this canine comes from the Middle Miocene local stratigraphic series of Abocador de Can Mata (ACM), and shows greater similarities with Middle Miocene hominoids than with Hispanopithecus. Here we report the correct catalogue number of this specimen (IPS41714) and provide details on its locality of provenance (ACM/C4-Ap) as well as estimated age (11.9 Ma). On morphologic grounds, we further justify the attribution of this specimen to Dryopithecus fontani, previously recorded by craniodental remains at another ACM locality with the same age, and also correct several other minor errors. Pickford (2012) involuntariamente figur¨®¡ªcon un n¨²mero de cat¨¢logo err¨®neo¡ªun canino superior masculino in¨¦dito de un primate hominoideo del la Cuenca del Vall¨¨s-Pened¨¨s (sin especificar su localidad de procedencia), y lo atribuy¨® al gran antropomorfo f¨®sil del Mioceno Superior Hispanopithecus laietanus. En realidad, este canino procede de la serie estratigr¨¢fica local del Abocador de Can Mata (ACM), y muestra mayores similitudes com los hominoideos del Mioceno Medio que con Hispanopithecus. Damos a conocer aqu¨ª el n¨²mero de cat¨¢logo correcto de este esp¨¦cimen (IPS41714) y proporcionamos detalles de su localidad de procedencia (ACM/C4-Ap) as¨ª como de su edad estimada (11,9 ma). En base a consideraciones morfol¨®gicas, justificamos adem¨¢s la atribuci¨®n de este esp¨¦cimen a Dryopithecus fontani, previamente registrado mediante restos craneodentales en otra localidad del ACM con la misma edad, y corregimos tambi¨¦n algunos otros peque os errores.
