Description

Genus Podocorynoides Schuchert, 2007

Podocorynoides Schuchert, 2007: 297.

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).
