Anybody know if the Mexican and the Cajun cross breed?

Cambarellus shufeldtii / Cajun dwarf crayfish (blue and brown)

Cambarellus patzcuarensis Orange CPO/ Mexican Dwarf Orange crayfish

Edit
Ok then there was this, about crayfish from the gov.

swamp dwarf crayfish (C. shufeldtii; sometimes called Shufeldt's crayfish) [from Missouri] and Cajun dwarf crayfish (C. puer).

Don't know if I have the names right as the Cajun was listed as the puer, and on all the sales websites, as shufeldtii as the Cajun?

If I have my species right I think they can.
 
Anybody see/have a hybrid?

Since they are both Cambarellus, that is what I was thinking, they look pretty much the same too.

Anybody actually have this happen?
