Abstract

Recent studies have revealed that the Kerivouladepressa complex should be divided into two species, K.depressa distributed mainly in Myanmar, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, and K.dongduongana found only in the Annamite Mountains of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. In November 2018 and April 2019, 24 woolly bats were collected by two-band harp traps in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, China. Based on morphological, morphometric, and phylogenetic (COI, Cytb, and RAG2 gene sequences) analyses, these bats were identified as K.depressa and K.dongduongana, representing two new species records for the country. Including the new records, six Kerivoula species have been recorded in China, namely K.depressa, K.dongduongana, K.furva, K.kachinensis, K.picta and K.titania. To facilitate their identification and biological research in the future, we have provided an up-to-date key to all Kerivoula species occurring in China.
