Axymyia is a genus of nematoceran flies in the family Axymyiidae. It contains only one described species, Axymyia furcata, from eastern North America.[1][2][3] A second species, Axymyia japonica Ishida, 1953, is sometimes listed,[4] but this species is now generally placed in the related genus Protaxymyia.[5][6]
