The recently published description of the fossil Chalcidoidea family Protoitidae, alongside the genus Protoita (Ulmer et al. 2023), failed to declare a type species for the genus. Under ICZN articles 13.2 and 13.3, this renders both the names Protoita and Protoitidae as nomina nuda. Below we formally define and validate the family Protoitidae, and Protoita, the type genus, with the taxon Protoita noyesi, as the type species. Under ICZN Article 16.1, both of these new names take their authorship and date from the publication of this corrigendum, rather than from the original publication. A new supplementary table including the updated fossil taxonomy is also provided.
