Troglocambarus maclanei Hobbs, 1942
|
Troglocambarus is a monotypic genus of troglobitic crayfish, endemic to Florida.[3] Troglocambarus maclanei is found underground in Hernando, Marion, Alachua, Columbia, Gilchrist and Suwanee counties,[4] and is named after Mr. William A. McLane who first collected it.[2]
Troglocambarus is believed to be the sister group to Procambarus.[5] It is only found in subterranean waters and was first recorded in Squirrel Chimney, 11 miles north-west of Gainesville, Florida.[6] T. maclanei has no body pigment. It is distinguished from other genera by the great enlargement of the third maxillipeds.[2] It is unknown what T. maclanei feeds on.[4]
Troglocambarus maclanei is listed as "Critically Imperiled" by NatureServe,[4] and as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List.[1]
