Nabia is an extinct monotypic genus of albanerpetontid lissamphibian that lived in Portugal during Late Jurassic epoch. Its remains have been found in Alcobaça Formation and the Lourinhã Formation. The generic name Nabia derives from Nabia, a goddess of rivers in Lusitanian mythology. The specific epithet of the type species, Nabia civiscientrix, translates to 'she who practices citizen science' referencing "Citizen Science project MicroSaurus, through which most of the specimens were found".[1]
