Mayrimunia is a genus of small seed-eating birds in the family Estrildidae that are endemic to New Guinea.

The genus was introduced in 1949 by the German ornithologist Hans Edmund Wolters with the streak-headed mannikin as the type species.

[1][2] The name was chosen to honour the evolutionary biologist Ernst Mayr and combines his name with the genus Munia.

They were moved to this resurrected genus based on a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2020.
