This is an erratum to the paper by Ciambur & Graham (2016, MNRAS, 459, 1276) titled “Quantifying the (X/Peanut)-Shaped Structure in Edge-on Disc Galaxies: Length, Strength, and Nested Peanuts”.

The horizontal-axis label for Figure 12 should read RΠ, max rather than RΠ, maxsin (α).

The radial length RΠ, max (=lΠ, maxsin (α)) corresponds to the isophote where the 6th-order Fourier cosine term — which we employ as a tracer of the (X/peanut)-shaped structure’s isophotal signature — is a maximum.

This typographical error does not affect in any way the results or conclusions of the article.
