[2][3] The Dougherty Plain cave crayfish is known from springs, wells and cave systems in the karst limestone region of Dougherty Plain in the Southeastern United States.

[2] A USGS survey of the area, carried out between September 2014 and August 2015, revealed additional sites in Early, Miller, Mitchell, and Seminole counties.

It is probably an opportunistic omnivorous scavenger and may feed on the Georgia blind salamander (Eurycea wallacei) which shares the same range.

[2] It has a low metabolic rate, perhaps associated with the limited availability of food, and consequently it is possible that it may live for twenty years or more.

It seems to be able to live in water with low oxygen levels and may be widespread in the aquifer away from locations that open to the surface.
