Engaeus sternalis
Species of crayfish
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Engaeus sternalis, the Warragul burrowing crayfish, is a species of crayfish in the family Parastacidae. It is endemic to Australia. It is only known from locations on the Labertuche Creek and Wattle Creek (a tributary of Labertouche Creek) in west Gippsland.[2] It is a cryptic, burrowing species with a very limited distribution, and virtually nothing is known about its ecology, population dynamics or habitat requirements.
