Euastacus spinifer

Crustaceans

Euastacus spinifer is a species of freshwater crayfish endemic to Australia and classified in the family Parastacidae. Camill Heller first described it in 1865 under the name Astacoides spinifer. The species has since been redescribed multiple times, and the argument that its various names are synonymous has been accepted.
