Fallicambarus is a genus of crayfish in the family Cambaridae from the United States and Canada. It includes 12 species, of which one is on the IUCN Red List as a vulnerable species (VU) and one as an endangered species (EN). The species of this genus are all restricted to three states or fewer, from Texas and Oklahoma east to Florida. [2]
The subgenus Creaserinus formerly contained eight additional species of Fallicambarus, but has been elevated in rank to genus, resulting in the transfer of those species from Fallicambarus to Creaserinus .
These twelve species are members of the genus Fallicambarus. [3]
