Orconectes stygocaneyi,[3][4][5][1] the Caney Mountain cave crayfish (also called Faxonius stygocaneyi in some schemes)[2] is a small, freshwater crayfish endemic to Missouri in the United States. It is a cave-dwelling species known from only one cave, Mud Cave in Ozark County, Missouri.[6] This cave is Protected as part of the Caney Mountain Conservation Area,[2] which covers 7,899 acres (3,197 ha) of public land administered by the Missouri Department of Conservation.
Taxonomy
The species was described as Orconectes stygocaneyi Hobbs, 2001.[7] It later appeared in an important catalog as Faxonius stygocaneyi (Hobbs, 2001)[8], but genetic data later supported affinity genus Orconectes, and even with data from the 16S rRNA fragment as a close ally of its type species Orconectes inermis Cope, 1872.[9]
