White-vented Myna may refer to one of two species of myna:

This confusion arises from the splitting of Acridotheres grandis (sensu lato) (which was called White-vented Myna) into three species:

Clements¹ and Sibley & Monroe⁴ retained the name White-vented Myna for Acridotheres grandis (sensu stricto), but Dickinson² and Gill & Wright³ use Great Myna for that taxon.

Clements¹ uses the name Javan Myna for this taxon, but Dickinson² and Gill & Wright³ use White-vented Myna; Sibley & Monroe⁴ do not recognise javanicus as a separate species, but as a subspecies of A. cinereus

Clements¹, Dickinson², Gill & Wright³ and Sibley & Monroe⁴ all use Pale-bellied Myna for A. cinereus
