Faxonius maletae,[4] sometimes called the Kisatchie painted crayfish or Kisatchie painted crawfish,[5] is a species of crawdad in the Cambaridae family. The specific epithet maletae is in honor of the discoverer's wife, author Maleta M. Walls, who helped collect many of the original specimens.[3] It was originally described as a subspecies of Orconectes difficilis,[3] but later elevated to full species status.[6] The common name refers to the Kisatchie National Forest, near where the original specimens were found in Bayou Santabarb.[3]
