Cambarus (Lacunicambarus) miltus (Rusty Gravedigger Crayfi sh) is a primary burrowing crayfi sh known from a limited portion of the Gulf Coastal region of the United States. The lack of form I males in collections has in the past prevented specieslevel identifi cations and hampered conservation reviews. We conducted an intensive status survey for C. miltus during 2007 and 2008. Our results suggest that the species is much more widespread than previously known and that conservation attention is unwarranted. Preferred habitat for the species is ephemerally fl ooded and thinly wooded fl oodplains of small streams and swamps
