Funchalia

Funchalia is a genus of deep-water prawns of the family Penaeidae. Six species are currently recognised:

Few specimens of Funchalia are present in museum collections, mostly due to the lack of sampling at the great depths where it lives. It probably has a cosmopolitan distribution.
The genus was erected in 1868, when James Yate Johnson erected it for the species Funchalia woodwardi, which he had collected off Madeira; the specific epithet commemorated Henry [Woodward |Henry Woodward] of the British Museum.
