Orconectes pellucidus, the Mammoth Cave crayfish,[1][2] is a freshwater crayfish native to karst landscapes in Kentucky and Tennessee in the United States.[1]
The common name refers to the Mammoth Cave National Park, however it also occurs outside of the park.[1] An alternative common name, the eyeless crayfish refers to its troglomorphic adaptions to its subterranean habitat.[2]
