Annotated Catalogue ot the Crayfishes of 



Kansas. 



BV I. ARTHUR HARRIS. 



In 1886 Dr. Walter Faxon published a "Preliminary catalogue 

 of the crayfishes of Kansas."' Since our knowledge of the Kansas 

 forms is somewhat more extensive at present, and there is some 

 later literature, as well as for the convenience of those who desire 

 to study the distribution of this group of crustaceans in our stat( , 

 it has been deemed advisable to bring this catalogue up to date. 



To a certain extent I have followed the form of Dr. Faxon's cat- 

 alogue, but have made some changes which I believe will increase 

 its convenience and value. 



In referring to the literature, wherever a species is described in 

 a paper, the name under which it is described is given. When no 

 specific name is given in the reference to the paper, it is to be un- 

 derstood that the paper deals with other than the description of 

 the species. In most cases the nature of the paper is indicated. 

 In giving the localities the name of the collector is given and after 

 this, in parenthesis, the paper in which the species was reported. 

 When this is not given it is understood, of course, that it is here 

 reported for the first time. When no collector is named the mate- 

 rial was collected by the writer. In quoting the literature, if the 

 Bibliography number is followed by no designation as to what 

 form is described, it is understood that the description covers the 

 first- and second-form male and the female. In case the descrip- 

 tion does not cover these forms those described are given. 



W' hile mistakes will probably be found in citations of literature, 

 the writer has made an earnest effort to give credit just where it 

 belongs, and to place at the disposal of anyone who may wish to 

 work on Kansas crustaceans as complete an index to the literature 

 of this genus as possible.
