M. dumontii |
Mino is a genus of mynas, birds in the starling family. These are the largest of the starlings, and are found in tropical moist lowland forests in Papua New Guinea and neighbouring islands. The members of the genus are:
- Yellow-faced Myna, Mino dumontii
- Golden Myna, Mino anais
- Long-tailed Myna, Mino kreffti
The latter two species were formerly considered to be conspecific.
