Hiwassee Crayfish have an overall light brown color with darker mottling. Each segment of the abdomen is marked with darker scalloped markings, giving the abdomen a slightly striped appearance. The palm has two rows of tubercles along its mesial margin and the areola is wide. The rostrum tapers essentially throughout its length and does not have marginal tubercles. The maximum length of this species is 80 mm (3.1 in).[4]
