''Funchalia'' is a genus of deep-water prawns of the family Penaeidae. Six species are currently recognised: *''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. 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 of the British Museum. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Funchalia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
