"From the Wateree River in South Carolina south to the Canoochee River in Georgia" (Hobbs, 1974b:55). The range is in need of further investigation; see "Remarks" below.Remarks
Procambarus (O.) chacei was synonymized with P. (O.) enoplosternum Hobbs by Hobbs (1981:388); the reasons cited were presented on page 398. On the basis of additional materials from South Carolina, there is reason to question this action; therefore, P. (O.) chacei is retained herein tentatively.References
