Euastacus guwinus
Keith A. CrandallTypes
Holotype, Australian Museum, Sydney P34041 (male); paratypes, Australian Museum, Sydney P34040, (5 male, 3 female).Distribution
The species is known only from Tianjara Creek, above Tianjara Falls, a tributary of the Shoalhaven River near the southern boundary of Morton National Park, 30 km west of Jervis Bay, New South Wales. It is possible that the species extends north-west through the unsampled wilderness core of Morton National Park or south to the headwaters of the Clyde River.Habitat
The type locality is a small stream with sandstone bedrock, the banks lined by dry sclerophyll and heath forest. Though apparently typical of other creeks in the area, only this site revealed populations of E. guwinus. The site was open and rather poorly shaded but crayfish were more common under rocks in the shade of a bridge.References
