Procambarus Catemacoensis
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Arthropoda
Subphylum: Crustacea
Class: Malacostraca
Order: Decapoda
Family: Cambaridae
Genus: Procambarus
Species: Procambarus Catemacoensis
Procambarus Catemacoensis has been assessed as Critically Endangered B1ab(iii) + B2ab(iii). This species is restricted to the eastern shore of Lake Catemaco, Mexico, which is approximately 10 km² and can be considered one location. Furthermore, the lake habitat is under threat from deforestation in the catchment resulting in sedimentation. This ongoing decline in habitat quality is assumed to be impacting the population of this species, however if further survey work shows that the population is stable then this species would qualify for a listing under Near Threatened.
