Aatolana schioedtei is a species of crustaceans in the family Cirolanidae, first described by Edward J. Miers in 1884 as Cirolana schioedtei.[2][3] In 1993, Bruce reassigned the species to the genus, Aatolana.[2][4]
It is benthic shrimp found in tropical waters at depths of 16 m to 173 m[5] off the coasts of Western Australia, the Northern Territory, and Queensland.[6]
