Notes Male rostrum, showing a single pair of marginal tubercles/spines. Within genus Pacifastacus this indicates species leniusculus. Two characteristics of subspecies klamathensis can be seen here, 1) acumen is shorter than the rostrum is wide (at the level of the marginal tubercles/spines), 2) postorbital ridges are without tubercles/spines posteriorly. Preserved specimen. Collected 20 Oct 2015.
