Tube-nosed variations-a new species of the genus Murina (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) from China.


ABSTRACT: During a survey in 2014, several tube-nosed bats (Vespertilionidae: Murininae: Murina) were collected in Sichuan Province. Based on morphological characters, these bats did not match any species previously recorded from China. Morphometric analyses and phylogenetic inference based on mitochondrial and nuclear gene sequences indicated that they represented a new species, named here as Murina jinchui sp. nov. Although the new species is presently known only from Wolong National Nature Reserve, it is unlikely to be a rare species in the area based on our capture frequencies.
