Earomyia is a genus of small flies in the family Lonchaeidae (Diptera). Species in this genus have been documented developing within the stems of toxic plants in the Melanthiaceae family, including Veratrum album and Toxicoscordion venenosum. At least one species, E. crystallophila, occupies decaying stem tissue solitarily. The genus is distributed across Europe and North America, with records from Scandinavia, Serbia, and the western United States.
