This is a short communication to revise the plates presented in the Filander et al. (2021) monograph on the South African azooxanthellate coral fauna. The authors moreover take this opportunity to retract the addition of Paracontrochus capensis (Gardiner, 1904) as a synonym of Monohedotrochus capensis (Gardiner, 1905). Cairns and Parker (1992) based their new combination of P. capensis on Duncania capensis Gardiner, 1904. In other words, Gardiner’s (1904) species is P. capensis and should be considered to occur in South Africa. Below we present the updated species synonymy and the revised figures.
