Natatolana femina is a species of crustacean in the family Cirolanidae, and was first described by Stephen John Keable in 2006.[2][1] The species epithet, femina, refers to the fact that no mature males were examined, only females.[1]
It is a benthic species, found at depths of 5 - 15 m in temperate waters[3] of the Tasmanian Shelf Province.[1][4] It is a scavenger.[4][1]
