Cambarellus
''Cambarellus'' is a genus of small freshwater crayfish in the family Cambaridae. The 19 species are found in Mexico (subgenus ''Cambarellus'') and the Gulf States of the United States (subgenus ''Pandicambarus''). Among the Mexican species, ''C. areolatus'', ''C. patzcuarensis'', and ''C. prolixus'' are considered seriously threatened by the IUCN, and ''C. alvarezi'' is already extinct. ''C. chihuahuae'' was also believed to be extinct until rediscovered in 2012. ''C. alvarezi'' and four undescribed, extinct ''Cambarellus'' species were restricted to desert spring systems in southwestern Nuevo León; each one shared its habitat with a ''Cyprinodon'' pupfish (these are also fully extinct or extinct in the wild). An orange form of ''C. patzcuarensis'' is regularly seen in the freshwater aquarium trade. Species The genus contains the following species: ;Subgenus ''Cambarellus (Cambarellus)'' *†''Cambarellus alvarezi'' (Villalobos, 1952)Villalobos, A. (1952). Estudios de los ...

Cambarus Montezumae
The ''acocil'' (''Cambarellus montezumae'') is a species of crayfish in the family Cambaridae. It is endemic to Mexico, where it is known from Jalisco and Puebla. The name ''acocil'' comes from the Nahuatl ', meaning "crooked one of the water" or "squirms in the water". It is a traditional foodstuff of the Pre-Columbian Mexicans, who boiled or baked the animal, and ate it in tacos. This is a common species in its range, becoming abundant in some areas. It can be found in a number of aquatic habitat types, including artificial habitats such as canals. It is found in areas with aquatic vegetation, and it often buries itself among the roots. It can tolerate a relatively wide range of temperatures, pH, and oxygen concentrations. It is considered to be a least-concern species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) because it is adaptable, its populations are stable, and it faces no major threats. Minor threats include the introduction of common carp The Euras ...
