Funchalia is a genus of deep-water prawns of the family Penaeidae. Six species are currently recognised:[1]
- Funchalia danae Burkenroad, 1940
- Funchalia meridionalis (Lenz & Strunck, 1914)
- Funchalia sagamiensis Fujino, 1975
- Funchalia taaningi Burkenroad, 1940
- Funchalia villosa (Bouvier, 1905)
- Funchalia woodwardi Johnson, 1868
Few specimens of Funchalia are present in museum collections, mostly due to the lack of sampling at the great depths where it lives.[2] It probably has a cosmopolitan distribution.[2]
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 of the British Museum.[3]
