Eomyrus ("dawn Myrus") is an extinct genus of prehistoric snake eel that lived during the middle Eocene. It contains a single species, E. dolloi from the Bartonian-aged Maldegem Formation (Wemmel Member) of Belgium.[1][2][3][4]
The species E. latispinus (Agassiz, 1844) was reclassified into this genus, but has since been placed in Voltaconger.[1][2]
