Procambarus enoplosternum is a North American crayfish species.

Appearance

The conspicuously drawn crab is 7-11 cm tall. In terms of color, it is similar to Procambarus pictus and Procambarus pubescens .

Sexual characteristics

The differentiation of the sexes takes place as with all Procambarus species, whereby males are mostly a bit more plainly colored and have slimmer, longer claws.

Occurrence

Cancer is at home in running waters in the United States, but can also be found in puddles, street ditches, or self-dug corridors. The range extends from the "Wateree River" area in South Carolina to the "Little Ocmulgee-Altamaha" river area in Georgia.
