Bouchardina is a genus of North American crayfish, containing a single species, Bouchardina robisoni, commonly known as Bayou Bodcau crayfish which is named after Henry W. Robison, one of the scientists who found it.[3] It can be found in the bayou basins of southwestern Arkansas, United States. It is not considered to be significantly threatened as its habitat has low human disturbance; it is listed as data deficient on the IUCN Red List,[1] S1 (critically imperiled) by the Nature Conservancy[4] and by NatureServe as G2 (imperiled)[2] and by the American Fisheries Society as vulnerable.
