Genus Podocorynoides Schuchert, 2007 View in CoL

Podocorynoides Schuchert, 2007: 297 View in CoL .

Type species: Cytaeis minima Trinci, 1903 .

Diagnosis. Medusae with four vertical unbranched oral tentacles inserting at level of mouth rim; with manubrial peduncle; four marginal bulbs, each with one simple tentacle; interradial medusa buds on manubrium; gonad encircling manubrium.

Remarks. According to the result of 16S sequence data ( Schuchert, 2007), Hydractinia minima is closely related to Lizzia and Rathkea , so it does not belong to the Hydractiniidae . Schucher (2007) referred it to the Rathkeidae and established the new genus Podocorynoides to accommodate Hydractinia minima ( Trinci, 1903) .
