The error region of XRF 111111A / MAXI J0158-744 (ATEL #3756) is refined by further analysis.
We obtain a statistical 90% C.L. elliptical error region centered on

(R.A., Dec) = (29.92 deg, -74.11 deg) = (01 59 40, -74 06 50)(J2000)

with long and short radii of 0.13 deg and 0.06 deg, respectively.
The position angle of long axis is 17.1 deg.
There is additional systematic uncertainty of 0.1 deg (90% containment radius).
