Barbicambarus cornutus is a species of crayfish found only in the Barren River and Green River systems of Tennessee and Kentucky.[2][4] It is one of the largest crayfish in North America,[5] reaching lengths of up to 9 inches (230 mm),[6] and its antennae are distinctive in being fringed.[7] Although it was first described in 1884, it was not seen again until the 1960s.[5] The species is sometimes called the bottlebrush crayfish.[3][2]
