Engaeus sternalis, the Warragul burrowing crayfish, is a species of crayfish in the family Parastacidae. It is endemic to Australia . It is only known from locations on the Labertuche Creek and Wattle Creek (a tributary of Labertouche Creek) in west Gippsland.[2] It is a cryptic, burrowing species with a very limited distribution, and virtually nothing is known about its ecology, population dynamics or habitat requirements.
