Charmosyna is a genus of parrots in the family Psittaculidae. The four currently recognized species inhabit moist forests on the island of New Guinea.
Charmosyna contains the following four species:[2]
| Image | Common name | Scientific name | Distribution |
|---|---|---|---|
| Striated lorikeet | Charmosyna multistriata | mountains of western New Guinea (Snow Mountains to Chimbu Province) | |
| Josephine's lorikeet | Charmosyna josefinae | montane New Guinea (except southeast) |
 | West Papuan lorikeet | Charmosyna papou | western New Guinea (montane forest of Bird's Head Peninsula) |
 | Stella's lorikeet | Charmosyna stellae | montane central west to northeast (Adelbert Range and Huon Peninsula) and southeast New Guinea |
The genus formerly included twelve additional species: pygmy lorikeet (Charminetta wilhelminae), red-fronted lorikeet (Hypocharmosyna rubronotata), red-flanked lorikeet (Hypocharmosyna placentis), blue-fronted lorikeet (Charmosynopsis toxopei), fairy lorikeet (Charmosynopsis pulchella), striated lorikeet (Synorhacma multistriata), duchess lorikeet (Charmosynoides margarethae), Meek's lorikeet (Vini meeki), red-chinned lorikeet (Vini rubrigularis), palm lorikeet (Vini palmarum), red-throated lorikeet (Vini amabilis), and New Caledonian lorikeet (Vini diadema). These were moved to other genera based on the results of a molecular phylogenetic study of the lorikeets published in 2020.[2][3][4]
