We recently published the description of a new rove beetle species Homoeusa ovata (Nozaki and Maruyama 2022). However, no holotype depository is indicated in the paper. This is mandatory after 1999 according to the current International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, and the new species name would be a nomen nudum and unavailable (ICZN 1999: Art. 16.4.2). In this corrigendum, we indicate the holotype depository and its etymology, which we did not include in the original paper. We thank Dr. Alfred F. Newton (Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago) for kindly pointing out this error.
