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 with the pale-billed scrubwren (Aethomyias spilodera) as the type species.[3][4] The name of the genus combines the Ancient Greek aēthēs "unusual" or "change" with ēthos "custom" or "character".[5]

The genus contains six species:[2]

Bicolored scrubwren, Aethomyias nigrorufus
Pale-billed scrubwren, Aethomyias spilodera
Vogelkop scrubwren, Aethomyias rufescens
Buff-faced scrubwren, Aethomyias perspicillatus
Papuan scrubwren, Aethomyias papuensis
Grey-green scrubwren, Aethomyias arfakianus
