Natatolana paranarica is a species of crustacean in the family Cirolanidae, and was first described by Stephen John Keable in 2006. [2] [1] The species epithet, paranarica, was given because of the species' likeness to Natatolana narica. [1]

It is a benthic species, living at depths of about 6 m in temperate waters, [3] and is known only from the type locality. [1]
