Natatolana albicaudata is a species of crustacean in the family Cirolanidae, and was first described by Thomas Roscoe Rede Stebbing in 1900 as Cirolana albicaudata,[2][3] based on specimens collected in Blanche Bay, New Britain, Papua New Guinea.[2]
It is a benthic species, living at depths of 0 m - 250 m in tropical waters,[4] and has been found on coral reefs in waters off Queensland, Western Australia and Papua New Guinea.[2][1] It is not a scavenger.[1] Keable (2006) gives the latest description and diagnosis.[1]
