Extinct genus of fishes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Evarra was a genus of small ray-finned fish in the family Leuciscidae. All species in the genus were restricted to waters in the Valley of Mexico and are now extinct due to habitat loss (their habitat dried out with remaining waters in the region highly polluted).[1][2]
