Abstract
The crayfish Procambarus (Scapulicambarus) clarkii (Girard, 1852) is reported for Colombia. This species is distinguished from other species within the genus by some features on the carapace, and the male first gonopod. The species P. (S.) clarkii is native of north astern Mexico and the south and central USA. Actually, the distribution comprises all the continents with exception of Australia and the Antarctic. In Colombia this species of crayfish was introduced possibly for cultivation in the1980s, but without the knowledge and permission of the authorities
