Cambarus monongalensis, the blue crayfish[2] or Monongahela crayfish,[1] is a species of burrowing crayfish native to Pennsylvania and West Virginia.[2][3][4] It has also been found recently in Ohio.[5] The common name refers to the Monongahela River, with the first specimens being collected from Edgewood Park, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.[6] It is included on the IUCN Red List as a species of Least Concern.[1]
It should not be confused with Procambarus alleni, also known as the blue crayfish, which is endemic to Florida and a popular aquarium crustacean.
