	Parastacidae
		Similarly, nine of the 14 genera presently recognized within the Parastacidae are restricted to the Australian continent and nearby islands (including southern New Guinea) (Hobbs, 1988; Hobbs, 1991).
		Because none of these studies have included all the genera found in Australia (not to mention in the family Parastacidae) the tree shown is Riek's (1969) with the additional southern hemisphere genera included with relationships suggested by Hobbs (1988;1991).

		The development of the cephalothoracic grooves, orientation of the chelae in life (correlated with burrowing), and modifications of the sexual characters of the males are the main attributes utilized in deducing the probable phylogeny of the Parastacidae.
		The Parastacidae are considered to have originated in this one area of Australia, and to have dispersed from there to the other present day extra Australian regions of the southern hemisphere, each of the four extra Australian genera being the apomorphic sister-group of a genus occurring in this Australian subregion.
		The new genus Gvamastacus, with two included new species, is characterized by the extraordinarily large genital papillae of the male, and the eniarged pleura of the second abdominal segment of the female.

		Parastacidae can be distinguished from Atyidae (shrimps) and Palaemonidae (prawns) by their robust chelipeds.
		In addition, unlike in Palaemonidae the third pair of pereopods bear chelae, and unlike in Atyidae the rostrum is somewhat dorsoventrally compressed.
		Parastacidae occur in many types of water but mostly in small creeks and in lowland still-waters such as ponds, dams and lakes.

		They are divided into two families, the Astacidae and Parastacidae, inhabiting respectively the northern and the southern hemispheres.
		The area of distribution occupied by the southern crayfishes or Parastacidae is separated by a broad equatorial zone from that of the northern group, unless, as has been asserted, the two come into contact or overlap in Central America.
		None is found in any part of Africa, though a species occurs in Madagascar.

		The genus belongs to the decapod family Parastacidae, and is found in south-east Australia, including Tasmania.
		Comprehensive taxonomic descriptions and a key to thirty four of the thirty five species are given by Horwitz (1990a), and a supplemental description of the most recently discovered member of the genus, Engaeus yabbimunna, is given by the same author (1994).
		Keys to genera of the Parastacidae can be found in Riek (1969) and, specifically for Tasmania, Horwitz (1988a).

		The Parastacidae are distributed in Australia, New Zealand, South America, and Madagascar.
		The phylogenetic relationships among the freshwater crayfish families and their relationships to lobster-like ancestors has been of considerable debate for at least 100 years.
		Because of this ongoing debate, the positioning of Parastacidae is shown as unresolved.
