Acridotheres is a genus of starlings, the "typical" mynas, which are tropical members of the family Sturnidae.
==Taxonomy== The genus Acridotheres was introduced in 1816 by the French ornithologist Louis Vieillot. The type species was subsequently designated as Paradisea tristis Linnaeus, the common myna. The name Acridotheres combines the Ancient Greek akridos meaning "locust" with -thēras meaning "-hunter".
