DIAGNOSIS.—Body without pigment or pale orange; eyes with small pigment spot but no facets. Areola constituting 35.8 to about 37.5 percent of total length of carapace (43.5 to 44.3 percent of postorbital carapace length). Cervical spine present. Antennal scale broadest distal to midlength. Coxa of fifth pereiopod lacking prominent, sclerotized caudomesial boss. First pleopod of first form male with mesial process strongly flattened, tapering distally, and directed more distally than laterally; central projection lacking accessory tooth; and caudal element lacking cushion-like prominence.

SIZE.—Carapace length 33.7 mm; postorbital carapace length 27.4 mm.

TYPES.—Holotype, allotype, and “morphotype,” USNM 81302 ( I, , II); paratypes, USNM, MCZ.

TYPE-LOCALITY.—Cueva de Ojo de Agua Grande, WNW of Hacienda Potrero Viejo, Paraje Nuevo, Córdoba, Veracruz, Mexico. Visits by several persons to Cueva de Ojo de Agua Grande attempting to obtain additional specimens of this species have disclosed only a single juvenile crayfish, and, as pointed out by Reddell (in press), the brief description of the stream presented by Hobbs (1943:206) hardly applies to the “rapid rock-floored stream” in Cueva de Ojo de Agua Grande! See Sbordoni and Argano (1972:18-19) for a description of this cave.

RANGE.—Mexico. Known only from the type-locality.
