Range & habitat
The known range of this species complex extends from Columbia, South Carolina northward to southeastern Pennsylvania, encompassing much of the Piedmont Plateau and Gulf Coastal Plain. However, C. acuminatus sensu stricto appears to be restricted to the Saluda River Basin in northwestern South Carolina. It prefers third order or higher streams with a steep gradient and pool, riffle, and run habitats. Adults prefer cobble substrates with boulders and slabs, under which they hide, while juveniles can be found in more sheltered areas such as leaf packs, undercut banks, and woody debris.
