See Nature, vol 375, p.88 (May 4,1995) for a "Corrigendum" by White, Suwa,
and Asfew with reference to their Nature (vol 371, p. 306-312, 1994)
article announcing A. ramidus. The recent letter renames it as
Ardipithecus ramidus. A more detailed description of the new genus is
promised by White, et al.
Of course the worst part is that the new genus starts with "A", which
means we're gonna have to write out the full names when discussing both
generra!:)
