|---|---|---|
 | Sulawesi myna | Basilornis celebensis |
 | Long-crested myna | Basilornis corythaix |
 | Helmeted myna | Basilornis galeatus |
The Apo myna was formerly included in this genus, but has since been transferred to the monotypic genus Goodfellowia.
The name Basilornis is a combination of the Greek words basileus, meaning "king" and ornis, meaning "bird".
