Abstract
An error in the literature of two-layer Couette flow of viscoelastic liquids is corrected. It is shown that even in the absence of viscosity stratification, a long wave interfacial instability due to elastic stratification can occur when the more elastic component occupies less than half of the total volume inside the channel.
