The genus Pseudocorynactis den Hartog, 1980 was synonymized in 2011 (see FAUTIN, 2011: 39) because its taxonomic weakness and merged into Corynactis Allman, 1846. In the same paper Fautin merge automatically Pseudocorynactis caboverdensis and Pseudocorynactis globulifera into Corynactis without appropriate discussion otherwise the paper printed one year ago (see OCAÑA et al., 2010) would had been referenced in Fautin’s
paper and indeed the new genus Paracorynactis Ocaña, den Hartog, Brito and Bos, 2010 would had not been overlooked by the North American author. Along this paper we reestablished
the genus Pseudocorynactis and confirming the taxonomic status of Paracorynactis as separated genera from Corynactis. In addition, there are also enmended diagnosis of
the genera Pseudocorynactis, Paracorynactis and Corynactis in order to prevent future erroneus taxonomic interpretations.
