Abstract. — The 211 papers and abstracts published by the late Horton H. 
Hobbs, Jr., are cited and annotated by a list of new taxa published in each 
paper. An alphabetical list of taxa named by Hobbs is provided; the repository 
and the catalogue number are cited for each holotype. Hobbs's reminiscences 
of his introduction to crayfishes and his early work are summarized from an 
oral interview. 
To many who knew him and his work, 
the name Horton H. Hobbs, Jr., (Figs. 1, 2) 
is synonymous with freshwater crayfishes 
of North America. Indeed, to many he was 
known affectionately as "crawdaddy." The 
enormous advances in our understanding of 
the systematics, distribution, and evolution 
of crayfishes that resulted from his studies 
in a career spanning six decades are well 
known to all astacologists. Perhaps less 
known are his contributions on other 
groups, including freshwater and cave 
shrimps and crabs, and ostracod associates 
of crayfishes. 
Hobbs's studies resulted in the recogni- 
tion of many new taxa: 1 new family (Cam- 
baridae); 38 new genera and subgenera (1 
genus of palaemonid shrimp, Neopalae- 
mon; 8 genera of entocytherid ostracods; 
and 29 genera and subgenera of North 
American crayfishes); and 286 species (168 
crayfishes, 104 entocytherids, 8 caridean 
shrimps, and 6 freshwater crabs). 
A remarkable number of Hobbs's contri- 
butions are monographs or other book- 
length works on a wide variety of topics: 
1942d, crayfishes of Florida, 179 pp.; 
1964a, Hobbs & Villalobos, crayfishes of 
Cuba, 59 pp.; 
1969a, Chace & Hobbs, freshwater and 
terrestrial decapods of the West Indies, 258 
PP-; 
1971b, entocytherid ostracods of Mexico 
and Cuba, 55 pp.; 
1972a, subgenera of Procambarus, 22 
PP-; 
1972g, crayfishes of North and Middle 
America, 173 pp.; 
191 Ac, checklist of North and Middle 
American crayfishes, 161 pp.; 
1977b, Hobbs & Peters, entocytherid os- 
tracods of North Carolina, 73 pp.; 
1977c, Hobbs, Hobbs III, & Daniel, trog- 
lobitic decapods of the Americas, 183 pp.; 
1981b, crayfishes of Georgia, 549 pp.; 
1982e, Hobbs & Hart, revision of Atya, 
143 pp.; 
1986a, Andolshek & Hobbs, entocytherid 
ostracods of Georgia, 43 pp.; 
1987b, revision of Astacoides, 50 pp.; 
1989g, illustrated checklist of American 
crayfishes, 236 pp. 
Hobbs's productivity led a European stu- 
dent to remark to one of us (R.B.M.) "Oh, 
Hobbs. He writes faster than I can read." 
Hobbs III recalls (in litt.) that during the 
late 1930s, Hobbs's father held him by his 
ankles while Hobbs slithered into a vertical 
crack (River Bed Cave, Columbia County, 
Florida) to collect Procambarus (O.) palli- 
dus — he then pulled him back out (for other 
anecdotes by and about Hobbs, see Hobbs 
1986d).

South Carolina (J. F. Fitzpatrick, Jr. and Hobbs III). 
J. F. Fitzpatrick, Jr. (in litt.), provided two 
other anecdotes. "One day, in the '60s, I 
think — Hobbs had stopped by to see Miss 
Peggy on some business while he was en 
route on some field excursion. Because he 
was in motion, he did not call or write 
ahead to announce his arrival. When he 
knocked on the door in the middle of the 
VOLUME 111, NUMBER 3 
475 
day in an active residential neighborhood of 
a small Virginia city, he found Miss Peggy 
home alone. The entire conversation, not 
short, was conducted with him standing on 
the porch and she behind the cracked door 
with the chain engaged. To her, 'It just 
wouldn't be proper to have a man in the 
house with Miss Lucille away on an er- 
rand', even such a true gentleman of long 
acquaintance as was Hobbs. He delighted 
in relating this story to those who knew her 
as an example of her propriety, but he never 
faulted her behavior; he only respected it in 
his amusement." 
"The other goes back to his graduate stu- 
dent days at Gainesville and reveals a side 
of his character that only those of us who 
knew him well knew. He and Archie Can- 
were classmates and shared an office with 
a few others. Despite the reticence of his 
later years, a youthful Archie apparently 
was animated and outspoken. He had a hab- 
it during repeated discussions of rearing 
back on the hind legs of his wooden chair, 
and when he made an emphatic point, he 
would slam the front legs on the floor. The 
mischievous crew connived to play a trick 
on Archie with Hobbs surely one of the 
conspirators if not the actual perpetrator. 
They got a couple of fireworks 'torpedoes' 
and clandestinely attached them to the front 
legs of Archie's chair. When he came in, 
they led him into a topic to which they 
knew he would react strongly. True to form, 
he reared his chair and at an appropriate 
point slammed the front legs. Archie was 
attached to the ceiling by his nails as the 
others rolled on the floor in merriment. De- 
spite this treatment, the group remained 
friends for their whole lives." 
All of us who knew and worked with 
Horton have many fond remembrances of 
him. He was the quintessential southern 
gentleman, always rising when a woman 
entered his presence. It pained him not to 
be able to open doors for women, and his 
female car-poolers were trained to wait at a 
door if he fell behind them. Elizabeth Nel- 
son remembers that in his last years, in frail 
condition and walking precariously with a 
cane, he rushed to open a door for her as 
she walked by with a small package. She 
knew that to refuse his offer of assistance 
would have pained him terribly. 
Elizabeth also remembered his expres- 
sion, a mixture of embarrassment and 
delight, when he was presented with a pair 
of boxer shorts with two flies at his retire- 
ment party — the idea being that having 
studied entocytherid ostracods so long he 
might have developed hemipenes. 
Brian Kensley joined Horton on one of 
his last field trips. "In the fafl of 1987, I 
accompanied Horton on a field trip to east- 
em Texas. He wanted to complete a survey 
of the crayfishes of this area, and also gath- 
er some data on Fallicambarus devastator 
Hobbs & Whiteman, 1987c, the burrowing 
crayfish that causes much destruction to 
fields and lawns. We drove in Horton's car. 
He would set the speed control, and dis- 
course on the flora and geology of the area 
we were driving through. Every now and 
then we would have to stop, so that he 
could push a net through a puddle next to 
the road, or to show me a tree with which 
I was unfamiliar. Between whiles, he re- 
counted incidents from his early days of 
field collecting and teaching. It was for me 
a natural history revelation. Arrived in Tex- 
as, we met with farmers and agricultural ex- 
tension officers to gather information on 
devastator, and to dig in the bone-dry, con- 
crete-hard fields dotted with chimneys. This 
was my primary role. Once I had got down 
to the water table, Horton would lie 
stretched out on the ground, one arm reach- 
ing 2-3 feet down into the hole for the cou- 
ple of crayfish at the bottom. We also did a 
lot of (much easier) digging in stream 
banks, and this is where I uncovered spec- 
imens of a beautiful spotted crayfish which 
he eventually named for me [Procambarus 
{Girardiella) kensleyi Hobbs, 1990a]. Hunt- 
ing season opened while we were in the 
Neches River area. On the third occasion 
while we were either walking through the 
woods, or working at a stream bank, and a 
476

VOLUME 111, NUMBER 3 
477 
rifle shot rang out nearby, Horton turned to 
me (I was distinctly edgy at this point) and 
said: 'Let's go home', which we did, all the 
way back to northern Virginia, at the sedate 
speed limit while I absorbed yet more land- 
scape science." 
Horton thoroughly enjoyed his martini at 
cocktail hour (see Fig. 3, showing Horton 
on his boat, the martini barge, on Lake Bar- 
croft). While one of us (R.B.M.) was living 
in Tunisia, Horton graciously shared his 
home with me. On one of my trips back, I 
noticed that Horton was having a clear 
cocktail in a 12 oz. glass rather than in his 
normal martini glass. This appeared strange 
to me, but I didn't comment on the large 
drink, assuming that Horton 's affinity for 
martinis had expanded exponentially. 
Someone told him of my concern, and he 
had many laughs from the occasion, as he 
had shifted from martinis to a gin and tonic, 
with lots of ice, for the summer. I suspect 
that I took Horton his last martini during 
his last stay in the hospital. It was in a glass 
jar, which he gleefully accepted and hid in 
a drawer so that he could have it at happy 
hour. Later that day, his daughter Nina vis- 
ited him, and Horton told her "look what I 
have." She smelled the jar and asked where 
he got it, probably knowing full well that I 
was involved. 
Aspects of Hobbs's life and career have 
been summarized in other obituaries by 
Fitzpatrick (1995a, 1995b, 1996) and Hoff- 
man (1994). Hobbs's southern manners 
were characteristic of him. One aspect of 
his life that was known to those who shared 
dinner as his guest was his interest (and 
ability) in baking and cooking. Alan David- 
son (1979:432) in North Atlantic Seafood 
published his recipe for hush puppies. Da- 
vidson referred to him as "The scholarly 
Mr Hobbs." 
Cooper & Cooper (1997:616) acknowl- 
edged Hobbs's influence: "As always, we 
are immensely grateful to the late Horton 
H. Hobbs, Jr., for the splendid lessons he 
taught (not all of them about decapods)." 
Only his colleagues in the Department 
of Invertebrate Zoology at the National 
Museum of Natural History are aware of 
one highlight of Hobbs's career. In 1976 
Thomas E. Bowman and Louis S. Kor- 
nicker, members of the department's self- 
appointed SOL Awards Committee, 
awarded him the "Smithsonian Order of 
the Lobster." The award celebrates an ac- 
complishment or achievement of outstand- 
ing insignificance, something that usually 
is quite difficult to associate with Hobbs. 
The award was based on the following se- 
ries of misadventures. 
Hobbs and colleagues C. W. Hart, Jr. 
and Margaret Walton introduced four new 
names for the entocytherid ostracod, Don- 
naldsoncythere donnaldsonnensis (Klie, 
1931) (see Hobbs 8c Peters 1977:43, 44 
for a synonymy), already burdened by two 
synonyms, Entocythere humesi Hoff, 
1943 and E. pennsylvanica Hart, 1960, as 
well as four unavailable names published 
as erroneous spellings: E. donnaldsoni 
Wolf, 1934-1938; £■. donalsonensis Rioja, 
1943; and E. donaldsonensis Tressler, 
1947. Hobbs & Walton (1961a) named E. 
hiwasseensis from Georgia; Hart & Hobbs 
(1961b) named E. tuberosa from Tennes- 
see (with the erroneous spelling tubercu- 
lata in the same paper); Hobbs & Walton 
(1963b) named Donnaldsoncy there scalis 
from Virginia and D. ileata from Virginia.

Biographical Notes 
Here we reproduce part of an Oral His- 
tory Interview of Hobbs by Pamela M. 
Henson, Smithsonian Institution Archives, 
in July 1976. It and the rest of the inter- 
view, largely dealing with aspects of his ca- 
reer after he left the University of Florida 
to go to the University of Virginia in 1946, 
form Record Unit 9509 in the Smithsonian 
Institution Archives. The questions are by 
Henson, the answers by Hobbs. 
Question: As we discussed, we can start 
with some biographical information about 
you and your education, and how you came 
to be interested in Crustacea. 
Answer: My undergraduate, well, all of 
my work was done at the University of 
Florida. It was during the depression years, 
so when I received my Bachelor's degree I 
was able to get an assistantship in the de- 
partment and took my Master's. There was 
no place to go, so I stayed on and joined 
the faculty after I took my Master's, teach- 
ing the introductory courses in biology. I 
stayed on for my doctorate; and it took me 
several years because of residence require- 
ments and working full time, so I got my 
degree in 1940. I spent one sunrmier at the 
Mountain Lake Biological Station during 
that time, doing work with Dr. [Chauncy 
M.] Gilbert, a course in arthropods. 
You asked about my interest in crayfish- 
es. This began when I was a freshman in 
college. We came to the laboratory exercise 
dealing with the crayfish; the first day it 
was external anatomy — had no difficulty 
whatsoever, everything was beautiful. The 
second day had to do with internal struc- 
tures, and the crayfish that I was given ap- 
parently had demised with the flood, be- 
cause it was complete soup inside. So I sup- 
pose I was an eager beaver, in part, and I 
knew that not far from the boarding house 
where I was living at the time there was a 
little creek. I went down after school that 
afternoon and I caught a few crayfishes and 
brought them back to the room. That eve- 
ning I made my dissection and everything 
was as it should be, but I had some crayfish 
left over and I couldn't see killing them. So 
I found a jar to put them in (I planned to 
take them back to the creek the next eve- 
ning) and put them on my desk where I was 
studying. In a few minutes I noticed a com- 
motion, and a male and female had gotten 
together. I watched them for a while, and I 
said, "Well, maybe I'll get eggs in a few 
days." And sure enough, within two weeks, 
eggs were there. About three weeks later 
the female was carrying the young, and the 
more I watched them the more interested I 
became. By the end of that semester, I went 
to the chairman of the department and told 
him that I'd become interested in crayfishes 
and would like to do some work with them. 
He said, "Well, I know nothing about them 
but I'll be happy to help you in any way 
that I can." So that's the way it began, and 
since 1931, I've looked at not much else. 
Question: That is interesting. And I sup- 
pose your room turned into a big aquarium? 
Answer: No, not really. But strangely 
enough, I was never able after that time to 
rear a clutch of eggs to adulthood until after 
I came to the Smithsonian. 
Question: Just chance? 
Answer: I didn't know enough about 
them at that time to do the wrong thing! 
Question: That's amazing. But there was 
no one at the university studying crayfish? 
Answer: No, no, there was only one per- 
son in the United States at the time. The 
big crayfish men had died: [Walter] Faxon 
and [Arnold Edward] Ortmann; and Edwin 
P. Creaser at Michigan Museum [Museum 
of Zoology, University of Michigan] was 
the only person working. 
That brings me to my first visit to the 
Smithsonian [Institution] which might be of 
some interest to you. In 1935, I went up to 
the Mountain Lake Biological Station for 
the summer. I had a letter of introduction 
from my major professor [J. Speed Rogers] 
at the University of Florida, and one from 
Dr. Ivey F. Lewis, who was Dean of the 
University of Virginia, introducing me to 
Dr. Waldo [L.] Schmitt [then Head Curator 
480 
PROCEEDINGS OF THE BIOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF WASHINGTON 
of Zoology at the U. S. National Museum]. 
So after my stay at the station, I came up 
to Washington hoping that I might be able 
to examine the crayfishes. Dr. Schmitt took 
one look at me ... 1 know you wouldn't 
believe it now. at one time I looked a little 
young. At the ripe old age of twenty-one I 
suppose I looked like I was about fifteen. 
He told me that he would be glad to have 
me look at the crayfishes, but that I could 
not open any of the types, couldn't open the 
bottles. Well I had made that trip at some 
sacrifice, and Dr. Creaser couldn't identify 
my material. 
Dr. Schmitt was very gracious but not of 
much help in doing so. Not until 1937, 
when I convinced Dr. Schmitt that I was a 
serious worker, did he allow me to come 
back and examine the type specimens. So I 
worked for five years on crayfishes not 
knowing the name of a single crayfish that 
1 was working with! 
Question: Oh my goodness! Yes, not 
having compared them with the ones here. 
Answer: I needed to compare them with 
the types. 
Question: Well, you must have come up 
with some original observations. 
Answer: Oh, well, a number of my ani- 
mals were new. When I started working in 
Florida I think there' d been about, oh may- 
be, four species recorded from the state; and 
when I finished there were forty-two of 
them. 
Question: [Laughter] That's a difference! 
Answer: Which labels me perhaps as a 
splitter. 
Question: Yes, but still, there just hadn't 
been that much work done. There was a 
paper written by Fenner [A.] Chace [Jr.] at 
one point about the lack of work in system- 
atics being done in that area during that pe- 
riod [reference to Chace 1951?]. I guess it 
was not one of the more worked on areas? 
Answer: No, it never has been. Crayfish- 
es have never attracted very many people. 
Those who start, most of them have fallen 
[by] the wayside after a little bit of work. 
I've worked on crayfishes I suppose longer 
than any other human ever has, in terms of 
number of years spent. 
Question: What was the Smithsonian like 
when you first came here to work on those? 
Answer: Oh, it was a delightful place. Of 
course, my coming from a small town and 
coming to Washington, in part, I suppose I 
was much impressed. Dr. Schmitt was most 
gracious, as were Mr. [Clarence R.] Shoe- 
maker, Mr. [James O.] Maloney, and Miss 
[Mary Jane] Rathbun. 
Question: She was still here? 
Answer: She was still here. I can't re- 
member whether I met her or not, but at 
least I saw her. And Dr. [Leonhard] Stejne- 
ger was a marvel. All of them were most 
gracious and helpful, and as I said, I do not 
hold it against Dr. Schmitt at all because I 
suppose I did look like a high school kid 
who thought he was going to do something. 
Question: Right, take apart all the type 
specimens. 
Answer: With this particular group, the 
group that's dominant in Florida, unless you 
look at the first pleopods of the males you 
can't identify the crayfish at all, and 
through a bottle you couldn't see them. 
Question: Were the collections of cray- 
fish at that point fairly extensive here? 
Answer: Well certainly nothing in com- 
parison with what we have at the present 
time. It was perhaps not even the most im- 
portant collection in the country. The Mu- 
seum of Comparative Zoology had many 
more types than we had at that time; and 
there were a few at the Philadelphia Acad- 
emy [of Natural Sciences], but a very im- 
portant collection existed here, one that 
formed a nucleus around which we've been 
building on for a number of years. Now, of 
course, we have the largest collection of 
crayfishes in the world — perhaps larger 
than all the other collections of crayfishes 
in the world combined [the collection of 
crayfishes now includes about 25,000 lots 
and 1500 lots of types]. 
Question: Was anyone working on them 
then? 
Answer: No, no one at the Smithsonian 
VOLUME 111, NUMBER 3 
481 
had worked on crayfishes. Fm the first per- 
son. 
Question: Yes, to come in and work on 
it. 
Answer: Faxon worked at the Museum of 
Comparative Zoology, and Ortmann was at 
the Carnegie Museum, and Creaser was at 
the Michigan Museum. Perhaps you know 
that we have the Michigan collection now. 
After I came here my major professor be- 
came director of the Michigan Museum, 
and he said, "Nobody's working on cray- 
fishes out here, and we're crowded. 
Wouldn't the Smithsonian like to have it?" 
That was just before I came here; I was in 
Charlottesville at the time. He said, 
"You're nearby so you can use them from 
time to time." So we inherited that collec- 
tion. 
Question: How easy was it to start work- 
ing in a field like that where no one else 
was working? 
Answer: As I look back on it, I had a 
delightful time all the way through. I knew 
that I could tell the difference between what 
I had, and just because I didn't have a name 
for them at the time didn't bother me too 
much. The literature had not been cluttered 
with my group of animals that I was work- 
ing on in Florida, so there was very little 
in the literature at all. So there was no great 
literature problem to face. 
Question: Yes, going through the masses 
of descriptions. 
Answer: I hate to say what has been done 
to it since. [Laughter.] As I frequently say, 
they will curse me and say all kinds of 
things, but they can't ignore me any longer 
with the crayfish. 
Question: Right, you have left your 
mark. Were there avenues, let's say, for 
publishing your results? 
Answer: Oh, they were very limited, of 
course. Again, I came along during the de- 
pression years, but Dr. Schmitt was very, 
very kind, and I can tell you one lovely 
little anecdote that happened to me in con- 
nection with publications. I used the Pro- 
ceedings of the Florida Academy of Sci- 
ences — it used to be called the Journal. I 
used that for some of my work. Then the 
Charleston Museum at that time was pub- 
lishing a series of Leaflets and Zoologica 
out of New York, and The American Mid- 
land Naturalist [also were available]. So 
there were a number of places that were 
open. But I sent one of my early papers up 
to Dr. Schmitt, describing seven new cray- 
fishes from Florida — I think it was seven 
new ones — and redescribing, in essence, a 
species that had already been described. In 
this I used the word "crawfish." Fd always 
used crawfish as a name, and throughout 
most of the South they're still referred to as 
crawfish. Dr. Schmitt carefully went 
through my manuscript completely and 
changed it to crayfish everywhere. So I de- 
cided that, well, if they're going to force 
me to do this (I didn't raise any questions 
whatsoever), Fll just accept it. So since that 
time I have used "crayfish," and most of 
my students do. However, most of the other 
people, particularly those who've worked in 
the South, still write crawfishes when they 
write it. 
Question: I hadn't even realized that 
there was the difference in words. 
Answer: Oh yes. And one other thing oc- 
curred in that paper. I had caught crayfishes 
from a cave from which they had been re- 
ported in Florida. Faxon had identified the 
animal as Cambarus lucifugus [error for 
acherontis sensu Faxon, not Lonnberg; re- 
placed by lucifugus Hobbs (1940a)], a spe- 
cies that had been described by [Einar] 
Lonnberg in the latter part of the nineteenth 
century from a well down near Orlando. 
Well, believing that the written word was 
infallible, I assumed that the specimens 
from this cave were what Faxon said they 
were. This was in the same manuscript, and 
Dr. Schmitt passed it on up to Dr. Stejneger, 
who at that time was Head Curator. Dr. 
Stejneger took one look at it and he said, 
"What right does he have to say that this 
is lucifugus!" [error for acherontis sensu 
Faxon.] He said, "He should go down to 
that well and catch some crayfish from that 
482 
PROCEEDINGS OF THE BIOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF WASHINGTON 
place to be sure." So Dr. Schmitt wrote 
back to me and gave me Dr. Stejneger's re- 
marks. Well I was a little bit upset because 
I thought the possibility of my finding that 
well that had been dug back in the latter 
part of the last century was very slight, and 
Florida was not easy to get around in, it was 
certainly not like it is now — all highways. 
But a friend of mine, Lewis J. Marchand, 
who lived down near Orlando, happened to 
come by my office within a day or so after 
I'd heard from Dr. Schmitt. I asked him if 
he had ever seen any white crayfishes down 
in that area. He said, "Oh sure, I know a 
spring where I've seen them a number of 
times. So I said, "How soon can you be 
ready to go?" And he said, "Well, tomor- 
row morning will be fine." So I said, 
"Well, we'll start then." Palm Springs is 
what it was. In the meantime, I had another 
friend, fellow student, at the university who 
was very good at water goggling — that's 
what we called it in those days — it's mod- 
ified scuba diving but you don't have air 
and so on. Anyway, I asked him if he didn't 
want to go. This was a cold November day, 
and, believe you me, Florida can get cold 
during the winter, the northern part. So we 
went down to Palm Springs, and when we 
got to this little spring I looked down — of 
course it hadn't been used since summer — 
it was covered with algae, and lying on the 
algae were white crayfish everywhere. So 
this friend of mine who went along with us 
took his gear and jumped off into the spring 
and time after time he came up, so we got 
forty-four of those animals that day. I got 
back to the laboratory, and sure enough, it 
was not the same as the thing from the 
cave, and was precisely what Lonnberg had 
described. So I had to redescribe it and put 
a new name [Cambarus lucifugus] on the 
material from the cave. 
Question: Yes. You can't ever count on 
Answer: So Dr. Stejneger sitting in Wash- 
ington certainly saved me considerable em- 
barrassment, and taught me a good lesson 
not to accept the printed word. 
Question: That is interesting, and you 
were having things published. Did you start 
collecting yourself at that point? 
Answer: Oh, I started collecting back in 
1931, when I was still a freshman. 
Question: You did keep track of your dif- 
ferent types? 
Answer: Oh yes. One of the biggest 
helps, I suppose, was Dr. [J. Speed] Rogers, 
my major professor and the chairman of the 
department at that time, with his meticu- 
lousness in keeping notes and insisting that 
everything be carefully curated. So I started 
out being trained as a curator, I suppose. 
Through the years I amassed a collection of 
some 80,000 specimens that I brought with 
me when I came to the Smithsonian. All of 
those were catalogued and we're still using 
my old numbers. The collection's so tre- 
mendous that we haven't been able to in- 
corporate nearly all of them into the Smith- 
sonian catalogue, so we're still using my 
old cards. 
Question: Where did you keep it all? 
Answer: In my basement at home. 
Question: You did? 
Answer: I had a tiny little office at the 
University of Virginia in an old building. 
The office was about the size of this little 
anteroom out here. In one of the rooms the 
floor fell in, the basement where I had put 
so many crayfish. I had to take everything 
out and have the floor reconstructed to sup- 
port the crayfish collection. 
Question: Yes, I guess everything was 
pretty much alcoholic storage? 
Answer: Everything was alcoholic stor- 
age, yes. 
Question: Which is fairly heavy. The 
professors you were working under were 
they systematics people? 
Answer: All of them were systematists, 
for the most part. There were four men in 
the department at the time, four of the full 
professors. All of them were graduates of 
the University of Michigan. One of them 
had taken his doctorate at, I believe, New 
York — I'm not sure whether it was Colum- 
bia [University] or not — but one of them 
VOLUME 1 1 1, NUMBER 3 
483 
had taken his doctorate elsewhere. But all 
of them had been trained in Michigan under 
[Alexander G.] Ruthven and [Robert W.] 
Hegner. Three of them were entomologists: 
Dr. Rogers worked on the Tipulidae, the 
crane flies; and Dr. [Theodore Huntington] 
Hubbell on the Orthoptera, grasshoppers, 
and Dr. [C. Francis] Byers on the Odonata, 
dragonflies. The fourth member was a 
mammalogist. He and I were good cronies 
because he was interested in bats — ^primar- 
ily, and bats live in caves and crayfish live 
in caves. So we had a delightful time team- 
ing up going on field trips. 
I'll tell you one other story of Dr. [Harley 
Bakwel] Sherman, the mammalogist. The 
library at the University of Florida had got- 
ten a new photostat machine and had dis- 
carded the old one. Dr. Sherman and I res- 
cued it and rebuilt it. We had heard that 
there had recently been aerial photographs 
taken of the area around Gainesville, of the 
entire county, that were available in the 
county agent's office. So we borrowed 
these, and made copies and placed them in 
our notebooks. Fortunately, those photo- 
graphs had been taken during the winter 
months when the deciduous trees had lost 
their leaves. This meant that where you 
would see a black spot on our maps this 
was a cluster of live oak trees, and live oaks 
usually grow along some depression, fre- 
quently indicating a sinkhole or maybe a 
cave. In Florida, that section of the state is 
quite flat and the roads are built on the sec- 
tion lines so that they run at mile intervals, 
almost straight, occasionally going around 
a sinkhole or something of the sort. But no 
place are you more than a half a mile from 
any spot — if you were on the road — from 
any place within the quadrangle. So we 
would ride down the section lines with our 
maps, and if we'd see a black spot, we'd 
get out of the car and look to see whether 
this was a cave in which there might be bats 
or crayfishes or something of the sort. 
One afternoon we'd been out, it was get- 
ting quite late and there were two graduate 
students with us, one of them. Dr. [Jerome] 
Krivanek, who's now at Vanderbilt [Uni- 
versity], and a young man, [William M.] 
McLane, who has recently died. Dr. Sher- 
man was driving, and I said, "Dr. Sherman, 
here's a little place right close to the road. 
Stop, it won't take Billy and me a moment 
or two to have a look." So we rushed over. 
It was nothing but a depression, but on our 
way back to the car there was a perfectly 
cylindrical chimney that went right down, 
dropped down, oh, between fifty and sev- 
enty feet. I peeked over the edge of it and 
saw that there was a little water in the bot- 
tom of it which excited me, so we rushed 
back to the car and asked them if we didn't 
have time to make one quick drop into this 
hole to see what it was. McLane and I went 
down into the hole and the other two stayed 
up above. We got down to the bottom, and 
I saw white crayfish on the bottom. We 
looked around and there was a little open- 
ing into the side, about two and a half feet 
in diameter; and we crawled into this open- 
ing, and that led into a fissure that was 
about four feet wide and some sixty or sev- 
enty feet long, with no floor, but the entire 
thing with water under us. It was shallow 
at one end, then it dropped off rather quick- 
ly. Even to this day we don't know how 
deep it really goes, it just continues on. I 
saw the white crayfish down there and I 
turned to this graduate student, and I said, 
"Billy, if you'll catch one of those cray- 
fishes and it's a new one, I'll name it for 
you." Well, I knew what they were so I was 
perfectly safe. So Billy jumped into the wa- 
ter with a dip net and started scurrying 
around, but he was missing them. I said, 
"Well, let's go." The water had gotten so 
cloudy you couldn't do anything. So we 
crawled back up to the top, and when we 
reached the top of the cave, he turned to me 
and said, "Well, Doc, I didn't get any of 
the big ones but I got this little one." He 
handed me a vial with a little tiny crawfish 
[Troglocambarus maclanei; in his dedica- 
tion of this species to McLane, Hobbs 
(1942b:349, footnote) commented: "It is a 
pleasure to name this species for Mr.

McLane, who has been a companion on 
many collecting trips, and who has added 
numerous valuable specimens to my collec- 
tion."] in it, the most amazing animal I had 
ever seen in my life. I couldn't believe that 
it was anything except a mutant or some- 
thing had gone wrong somewhere. 
We went on back into Gainesville, and I 
inomediately got the binocular scope on it 
and saw that it was really something out of 
this world. So the next day I was anxious 
to get back and get some more of them. 
Most of the young men who usually went 
with me were tied up in classes, they 
couldn't go. I found one man who'd go, and 
we had gone out to the car; we had our 
ropes and collecting equipment and so on. 
About that time I spotted the same man 
who had caught the crayfish down in Palm 
Springs, going across the campus. I called 
to him, and told him that we were going 
out to a cave, and wouldn't he like to go, 
and he said no, that he had an organic exam 
the next day. "Well, that's too bad," I said, 
"it's a wonderful place to water goggle." I 
knew that would get him, no question. 
"Oh?," he said, "All right, I'll go." I called 
him Jelly, so that gives you some idea as to 
his size. He wasn't all that obese, he was 
pretty wide, he had some flesh on him and 
I was worried all this time about his getting 
through that side of the pit. 
Question: That's true, yes. 
Answer: But, we got out to the cave, we 
went down it, ... and he said, "Now 
Where's that place to dive?" I said, "It's 
right through there." He looked at the hole 
and he said, "I can make it." So into the 
hole he went, all of us. It was such that we 
could prop our feet against one wall and 
lean our back against the other one, no 
place to stand whatsoever. He said, "Now 
Where's that place to dive?" I said, "You're 
there." Well, if looks could have killed any- 
one, well of course, I would have been 
dead. But he was a good sport so he said, 
"All right." So he put on his goggles, and 
he went down, and he came up time after 
time with this big white crayfish, Procam- 
barus pallidus, which I had recognized all 
along — ^but none of the little fellow. He 
said, "Well, I've about had it." I said, "Jel- 
ly, go down just one more time," and this 
time when he came up he rotated just be- 
fore he surfaced and his light beam hit the 
submerged ceiling, and he saw one of them 
and picked it off and brought it up. After 
that, he went down and he got either three 
or four more that afternoon, all of them col- 
lected from the ceiling. So this little animal 
was highly adapted for living on submerged 
ceilings of caves; down below it would 
have been in competition, with a much less 
chance of survival certainly than it has 
above, a very small animal. What had hap- 
pened, of course, McLane, when he jumped 
into the water, had jarred the water so that 
the animal became dislodged and on the 
way down Billy happened to catch it. 
Question: Going down without ever 
looking up. 
Answer: I finally caught one when Mar- 
chand, the man who had caught so many of 
them, jumped in one day and another one 
was dislodged and I saw it come loose and 
grabbed it with my dip net. That's the only 
one I've ever caught. 
Question: But it was, I guess, a com- 
pletely new type? 
Answer: Oh, it was a completely new ge- 
nus [Troglocambarus]. It is the most fan- 
tastic crayfish that we know at the present 
time. Most crayfishes have teeth on their 
third maxilliped for chewing. In the first 
place the maxillipeds have tremendously 
large and long setae that interlock, and by 
carrying water through the gill chamber 
over this setal net, it filters its food out of 
the water. There is no other crayfish that 
utilizes this technique. 
Question: Fascinating, too, that you did 
find it. Were there many students in system- 
atics at Rorida at that time? 
Answer: At that time, ecology was the 
thing, as it has become in recent years. I 
was trained as an ecologist; of course, the 
kind of ecology that we did then had little 
resemblance to the kind that exists at the 
VOLUME 111, NUMBER 3 
485 
present time. All of us were a combination 
systematist and ecologist. I was trained in 
ecology, and the only reason I got into sys- 
tematics was that I couldn't identify my an- 
imals and there was no one to help me, and 
I had it to do. 
Question: Yes, because that had not been 
done before. So you stayed there until 
1946? 
Answer: That's right. 
Question: And then you moved to the 
University of Virginia. 
Answer: While I was there I came up 
here many weekends to work in the collec- 
tion. 
Question: You were using these collec- 
tions? 
Answer: Oh, yes, I was using them from 
the outset. At one time Dr. Schmitt was able 
to get a little funds to help me to come up 
and work on weekends. At that time, too, 
he did another very nice thing for me. Most 
of the people had to be out of the building 
by a certain hour, and I was permitted to 
stay on until midnight. Some way he man- 
aged to help me out to that extent, because 
it was so rare — I could only work on Sat- 
urday night. Sometimes I would come up 
on Friday, I could work Friday night and 
Saturday night, or on holidays when I came. 
Question: I guess you got to know the 
collections here fairly well. Were they in 
fairly good condition — identified or cata- 
logued? 
Answer: Oh, yes, all of the old material 
was, and much of the time that I was here, 
when I would come up on weekends, I was 
working up collections that had accumulat- 
ed and identifying them so that they could 
be catalogued by the time that I came back 
and they were very nice in sending me du- 
plicate cards for everything that I identified. 
Question: Were there many collections 
coming in during those years, were there 
expeditions or collecting trips? 
Answer: No, not a great many. There had 
been a considerable backlog because, as I 
said, no crayfish man had been here since 
[William Perry] Hay worked at the muse- 
um. He also taught high school here in the 
Washington area, as I understand it. He's 
one of the few older members — crayfish 
people — that I met, but he had retired and 
was quite an old man when I met him. He 
lived in Florida and made a special trip to 
come up to Gainesville to see me one time, 
so I was delighted. He subsequently gave 
me his library, so I have many of his old 
notes, things that will go to the archives 
eventually.

At the time of his death, Hobbs was com- 
pleting a manuscript entitled "A compara- 
tive study of functional morphology of the 
male reproductive systems in the Astacidea 
(Crustacea: Decapoda) with emphasis on 
the freshwater crayfishes." Hobbs III plans 
to complete preparing this manuscript for 
publication. 
Taxa Named by Horton H. Hobbs, Jr. 
The family, genera and subgenera, spe- 
cies and subspecies named by Hobbs and 
colleagues are listed alphabetically and are 
cross-referenced to Hobbs 's bibliography, 
above. We provide the repository and cat- 
alogue number for all holotypes of species 
and subspecies. Most of the holotypes of 
taxa named by Hobbs are in the collections 
of the National Museum of Natural History, 
Smithsonian Institution, Washington 
(USNM). One holotype is in The Natural 
History Museum, London (BMNH) and 
several are in the Museum National 
d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris (MNHN) as well 
as The Academy of Natural Sciences of 
Philadelphia (ANSP). When a holotype has 
been deposited in a museum other than the 
USNM, catalogue numbers of USNM para- 
types are provided.
