Novumbra
Genus of fishes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Novumbra is a genus of mudminnows (family Umbridae) native to Oregon and Washington state, USA.[1] Molecular data suggests that this genus is more closely related to Esox than Dallia and Umbra. Novumbra diverged from Esox roughly 65 million years ago in the Paleocene.[2]
