Nombe is an extinct genus of macropodid containing a single species, Nombe nombe. which was formerly classified as a member of the genus Protemnodon.^[1] It was native to New Guinea during the Late Pleistocene. It was relatively large in body size and is thought to have been a browser. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that it is a basal member of the subfamily Macropodinae.^[2]
