Streptocitta is a genus of large starlings in the family Sturnidae. Both species have a pied plumage and a long tail, giving them a superficial resemblance to a magpie. Although not closely related to the true magpies, they have therefore been referred to as magpies in the past. The two species are restricted to forests in Wallacea in Asia.

The mynas (; also spelled mynah) are a group of birds in the starling family (Sturnidae). They are passerine birds native to large parts of Central Asia and South Asia, especially Iran, Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka. Several species have been introduced to areas such as North America, Australia, South Africa, Fiji and New Zealand, especially the common myna, which is often regarded as an invasive species. In Singapore, they are sometimes known as "Selarang" in Malay and "Teck Meng" in Chinese due to their high population there.
