Procambarus Erythrops is commonly known (its common name) as the Santa Fe Cave Crayfish in English.

Sims Sink Crayfish (Procambarus erythrops) SSC 1 - The Sims sink crayfish, sometimes called the Santa Fe cave crayfish, is a blind, Albino Crayfish that swims through the inky depths of Sims Sink in northern Florida. A medium-sized white crayfish with reduced eyes, each of which bears a reddish pigment spot, Sims sink crayfish have an average body length of 3.5 inches. These colorless crustaceans are among the few creatures that have adapted to the lightless world at the bottom of the region's aquifers, springs, and sinkholes. Many species who make their homes in these freshwater labyrinths are endemic to only a handful of aquifers and are found nowhere else in the world.
