Parastacus saffordi Faxon
Parastacus saffordi Faxon, 1898:683, pl. 68.—Riek, 1971:134.—Buckup and Rossi, 1980:673, figs. 9–11, 21.
TYPES.—Syntypes, USNM 12581 (2 specimens), MCZ 4775 (1 specimen).
TYPE LOCALITY.—Montevideo, Uruguay.
RANGE.—Until the report of the occurrence of this crayfish in two widely separated localities in the eastern part of the state of Santa Catarina by Buckup and Rossi (1980:675), this crayfish was known only from the vicinity of Montevideo, Uruguay. It is surprising that it has not been found in the state of Rio Grande do Sul.
HABITAT.—Faxon reported its occurrence in burrows, and Buckup and Rossi found it swimming in a “cacimba” (= small, perhaps temporary, pool).
