    Default Blind Cave Crayfish

    Hey everyone, does anyone know the (exact) scientific name of the blind albino cave crayfish in the Jackson Co. (FL) area, ie, Jackson Blue, HitW?

    Closest names ive come up with are:

    troglocambarus maclanei (blind cave crayfish)

    and

    Procambarus orcinus (Woodville cave crayfish)

    Any help is appreciated? im sure either of those are close enough, as there are no samples, but i am using in my masters thesis.

    Cheers,
    Andrew K
