Barbicambarus cornutus is a species of crayfish found only in the Barren River and Green River systems of Tennessee and Kentucky.[3] It is one of the largest crayfish in North America,[4] reaching lengths of up to 9 inches (230 mm),[5] and its antennae are distinctive in being fringed.[6] Although it was first described in 1884, it was not seen again until the 1960s.[4] The species is sometimes called the bottlebrush crayfish.[2]
