Troglocambarus is a monotypic genus of troglobitic crayfish, endemic to Florida.[2] Troglocambarus maclanei is found underground in Hernando, Marion, Alachua, Columbia, Gilchrist and Suwanee counties,[1] and is named after Mr. William A. McLane who first collected it.[3] It is commonly called the North Florida Spider Cave crayfish.[1][4]
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.[3] It is unknown what T. maclanei feeds on.[1]
Troglocambarus maclanei is listed as "Critically Imperiled" by NatureServe,[1] and as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List.[4]
