Aethomyias is a genus of passerine birds in the family Acanthizidae that are endemic to New Guinea.

A molecular phylogenetic study of the scrubwrens and mouse-warblers published in 2018 led to a substantial revision of the taxonomic classification. In the reorganisation the genus Aethomyias was resurrected to bring together a group of scrubwrens that had previously been placed in the genera Sericornis and Crateroscelis.^[1]^[2] The genus Aethomyias had originally been introduced by the English ornithologist Richard Bowdler Sharpe in 1879 to accommodate a single species, Entomophila spliodera G.R. Gray 1859, the pale-billed scrubwren, which is therefore the type species.^[3]^[4] The name of the genus combines the Ancient Greek aēthēs "unusual" or "change" with the Modern Latin myias meaning "flycatcher".^[5]
