The name of the new foraminiferal genus Olgia Mikhalevich, 2011 published in Mikhalevich (2011) is preoccupied by Olgia Radoszkowskii, 1877, a genus of wasp (Radoszkowskii, 1877, p. 33). Thus Olgia Mikhalevich, 2011 is a junior homonym of Olgia Radoszkowskii, 1877.
Olgita is here proposed as a new name for Olgia Mikhalevich, 2011 (see Figure 1).
Its taxonomic position remains unchanged:
Phylum FORAMINIFERA d’Orbigny, 1826
Class ROTALIATA Mikhalevich, 1980
Subclass TEXTULARIANA Mikhalevich, 1980
Order VERNEUILINIDA Mikhalevich and Kaminski, 2004
Superfamily CHRYSALIDININOIDEA Neagu, 1968
Family OLGIIDAE Mikhalevich, 2011
Genus OLGITA Mikhalevich pro Olgia Mikhalevich, 2011
