Eurimyia is a genus of hoverflies (family Syrphidae) containing three described species. These flies are commonly known as rat-tail maggot flies due to the distinctive elongated breathing tube of their aquatic larvae. The genus was established by Bigot in 1883 and previously included species now classified under Lejops. Adults are associated with wetland habitats.
