Phylum: Arthropoda
Class: Malacostraca
Order: Decapoda
Superfamily: Astacoidea

Genus: Procambarus
Species: Procambarus Advena

The species was split into two taxa by Hobbs (1981), and Florida records are now considered to be for Procambarus Talpoides. As pointed out by Faxon (1884:140), the descriptions of Procambarus Advena and C. carolinus were transposed in Hagen's monograph, and pl. 1:figs. 51-54 and pl. 3:fig. 165 are actually of Procambarus Advena. (see. Hobbs, 1981:311 for a detailed bibliography and explanation).
Procambarus Advena has been assessed as Least Concern. It has a fairly wide distribution, and is believed to be common within its range. Further research is needed to determine the population status of this species, and whether it is being impacted upon by any major threat processes.
This species is a regional endemic in Georgia, and occurs in three drainages with a total range of between 5000 to 20000 km2 (A. Eversole pers. comm. 2009). This species inhabits the lower coastal plain of Georgia, between the Savannah, Oconee and Altamaha rivers (Hobbs 1981). It is generally restricted to North of the Altamaha River (A. Eversole pers. comm. 2009).
