The striated lorikeet, lori strié, or lori estriado (Synorhacma multistriata) is a species of parrot in the family Psittaculidae native to New Guinea. It is the only species placed in the genus Synorhacma. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Taxonomy
The striated lorikeet was formally described in 1911 by the English zoologist Walter Rothschild under the binomial name Charmosynopsis multistriata.{{ cite journal | last=Rothschild | first=Walter | author-link=Walter Rothschild, 2nd Baron Rothschild | date=1911 | title=The Hon.

Distribution and habitat
The species is native to mountain forests of the central mountain ranges in West Papua (province), Indonesia and central Papua New Guinea (particularly the Ok Tedi River region). It is believed to be possibly nomadic.{{cite web|website=BirdLife International|year=2016|title=Species factsheet: Charmosyna multistriata|url=http://www.birdlife.org}}
Conservation
The striated lorikeet's habitat is threatened by deforestation to make way for farms and mines (especially copper and gold), and is also believed to be under pressure from recent severe weather events.
