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]

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]
