From editor or global species database
Classification Dooley et al. (2022) provide a phylogeny that at least for the 16S gene shows this species does indeed belong with the cave Orconectes. However, their COI data suggests that it might actually better fit with the Cambarus. Regardless, it does not seem to fit well with Faxonius. So based on this current information, we are placing this species back into the genus Orconectes until more data are available to confirm or refute this placement. [details]
