Charmosyna is a genus of parrots in the family Psittaculidae. The three currently recognized species inhabit moist forests on the island of New Guinea.

Taxonomy

Charmosyna contains the following three species:^[2]

Genus **Charmosyna** – Wagler, 1832 – three species
Common name	Scientific name and subspecies	Range	Size and ecology	IUCN status and estimated population
Josephine's lorikeet	Charmosyna josefinae (Finsch, 1873)	New Guinea (central range and Cyclops Mountains)	Size: Habitat: Diet:	LC
West Papuan lorikeet	Charmosyna papou Scopoli, 1786	New Guinea	Size: Habitat: Diet:	LC
Stella's lorikeet	Charmosyna stellae Meyer, 1886 Three subspecies C. s. stellae C. s. goliathina C. s. wahnesi	New Guinea	Size: Habitat: Diet:	LC

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]
