The electrostatic dust cyclotron (EDC) instability in a collisional plasma containing dust grains with large thermal speeds is studied using kinetic theory. The instability is excited by ions drifting along the magnetic field. The critical ion drift for exciting EDC waves is also compared with that for exciting dust acoustic waves. Application to possible parameters of laboratory dusty plasmas with large external magnetic fields is discussed.
