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, [1] [2] based on specimens collected in Blanche Bay, New Britain, Papua New Guinea. [1]

It is a benthic species, living at depths of 0 m - 250 m in tropical waters, [3] and has been found on coral reefs in waters off Queensland, Western Australia and Papua New Guinea. [1] [4] It is not a scavenger. [4] Keable (2006) gives the latest description and diagnosis. [4]
