Spinedace
Lepidomeda is a genus of cyprinid fish, commonly known as the spinedaces, found in western North America. Of the four known species, one is extinct and two are threatened. They appear to be fairly close to the leatherside chub and the spikedaces, but the phylogeny and indeed the validity of the proposed "plagopterin" clade is insufficiently resolved.Species
The genus contains these species:
- Lepidomeda albivallis R. R. Miller & C. L. Hubbs, 1960
- Lepidomeda aliciae southern leatherside chub
- Lepidomeda copei northern leatherside chub
- †Lepidomeda altivelis R. R. Miller & C. L. Hubbs, 1960
- Lepidomeda mollispinis R. R. Miller & C. L. Hubbs, 1960
- Lepidomeda vittata Cope, 1874
