Note: The southern limit of the species is in need of further investigation and may extend into Georgia.</p><p>Common name: Cedar Creek Crayfish</p><p>Emended diagnosis: Body pigmented, eyes well developed. Acumen distinct; strong postorbital ridge, strong marginal spines, strong postorbital ridge spine; lacks median carina. One strong cervical spine on each side of carapace. Suborbital angle obtuse to obsolete. Areola 2.7 (+-0.04) times longer than wide, with 6-9 punctations across narrowest section. Antennal scale 2.7 (SE +- 0.04) times longer than wide. Palm of chela of cheliped 1.3 (+- 0.02) times wider than deep, and 1.7 (+-0.03) times longer than wide. Fingers without gape, without dense setae at opposable bases. Mesial margin of palm with or without serrate tubercles. Hooks on ischia of third and fourth pereiopods of male. First pleopods of first form male asymmetrical with rounded hump on cephalic surface. Mesial process subspiculiform and directed distally; caudal process short and subspiculiform; adventitious process knoblike prominence lateral to caudal process, often with constriction in middle, central projection sclerotized with half-pyramid shape directed caudodistally; cephalic process hood-like and relatively short but with acute apex and as long as, or longer, than central projection. Annulus ventralis symmetrical, subovate. Annulus ventralis wider than long with submedian longitudinal elevation bearing sinuous sinus, being either sinistral or dextral. Sternum cephalic to annulus ventralis with pair of caudally-projecting prominences, which themselves may be simple or bituberculate.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E787B5FFCDFFBCFF63C1D5FE9FF837	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
