chacal CAMBARIDAE Usually considered synonymous
with Cambarellus montezumae, but Kreger and de
Stairs, 1981:218) say the word refers to "crustaceo de
agua dulce." However, the same authors (p. 407) say
chacal probably = Cambarellus montezuma (sic).
[Mexico: derived from the Nahuatl (Aztec) chacalin,
camaron grande] Santamaria, 1978:343. The congruence
of the Mexican word chacal with the Spanish
chacal, meaning "jackal," has caused confusion, as
when Schoenhals and Schoenhals (1965:325) include:
"ca'am Cambarellus montezuma[de?] chacalin, chacal"
in an appendix listing of the names of mammals in the
Mixe de Totontepec language. See chacalin, "crayfish
Symbolism" and nas.
