''Cherax'' is the most widespread genus of fully aquatic crayfish in the Southern Hemisphere. Together with ''Euastacus'', it is also the largest crayfish genus in the Southern Hemisphere. Its members may be found in lakes, rivers and streams across most of Australia and New Guinea. In Australia the many species of ''Cherax'' are commonly known as yabbies. The most common and widely distributed species in Australia is the common yabby (''Cherax destructor''). It is generally found in lowland rivers and streams, lakes, swamps and impoundments at low to medium altitude, largely within the Murray–Darling Basin. Common yabbies are found in many ephemeral waterways, and can survive dry conditions for long periods of time (at least several years) by aestivating (lying dormant) in burrows sunk deep into muddy creek and swamp beds. ==Species== The genus contains 57 species: *''Cherax albertisii'' Nobili, 1899 *''Cherax albidus'' Clarke, 1936 *''Cherax angustus'' *''Cherax aruanus'' Roux, 1911 *''Cherax austini'' Coughran & Hobson, 2012 *''Cherax barretti'' Clark, 1941 *''Cherax bicarinatus'' (Gray, 1845) *''Cherax boesemani'' Lukhaup & Pekny, 2008 *''Cherax boschmai'' Holthuis, 1949 *''Cherax buitendijkae'' Holthuis, 1949 *''Cherax cainii'' Austin]]'' 2002 *''Cherax cairnsensis'' Riek, 1969 *''Cherax cartalacoolah'' Short, 1993 *''Cherax cid'' Coughran & Furse, 2012 *''Cherax communis'' Holthuis, 1949 *''Cherax crassimanus'' Riek, 1967 *''Cherax cuspidatus'' Riek, 1969 *''Cherax davisi'' Clark, 1941 *''Cherax depressus'' Riek, 1951 *''Cherax destructor'' Clark, 1936 *''Cherax dispar'' Riek, 1951 *''Cherax esculus'' Riek, 1956 *''Cherax gherardiae'' Patoka, Bláha & Kouba, 2015〔 *''Cherax glaber'' Riek, 1967 *''Cherax glabrimanus'' Riek, 1967 *''Cherax gladstonensis'' Riek, 1969 *''Cherax holthuisi'' Lukhaup & Pekny, 2006 *''Cherax leckii'' Coughran, 2005 *''Cherax longipes'' Holthuis, 1949 *''Cherax lorentzi'' Roux, 1911 *''Cherax minor'' Holthuis, 1996 *''Cherax misolicus'' Holthuis,1949 *''Cherax monticola'' Holthuis, 1950 *''Cherax murido'' Holthuis, 1949 *''Cherax neocarinatus'' Riek, 1967 *''Cherax neopunctatus'' Riek, 1969 *''Cherax nucifraga'' Short, 1991 *''Cherax pallidus'' Holthuis, 1949 *''Cherax paniaicus'' Holthuis, 1949 *''Cherax papuanus'' Holthuis, 1949 *''Cherax parvus'' Short & Davie, 1993 *''Cherax peknyi'' Lukhaup & Herbert, 2008 *''Cherax plebejus'' (Hess, 1865) *''Cherax preissii'' (Erichson, 1846) *''Cherax pulcher'' Lukhaup, 2015 *''Cherax punctatus'' Clark, 1936 *''Cherax quadricarinatus'' (von Martens, 1868) *''Cherax quinquecarinatus'' (Gray, 1845) *''Cherax rhynchotus'' Riek, 1951 *''Cherax robustus'' Riek, 1951 *''Cherax rotundus'' Clark, 1941 *''Cherax setosus'' (Riek, 1951) *''Cherax snowden'' Lukhaup, Panteleit & Schrimpf, 2015 *''Cherax solus'' Holthuis, 1949 *''Cherax tenuimanus'' (Smith, 1912) *''Cherax urospinosus'' Riek, 1969 *''Cherax wasselli'' Riek, 1969 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cherax」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
