| Abstract | Species of the subfamily Murininae are small to medium-sized bats of the family Vespertilionidae. They are distributed throughout Asia from northeastern Pakistan, eastern Siberia, Korea to Japan to northeastern Australia. Diagnostic characters are the combination of: tubular nostrils, thick and woolly fur, furred forearms, hind limbs, proximal parts of wing membranes, and upper surface of interfemoral membrane; and two premolars in both the upper and lower toothrows, where the first premolars are unusually well-developed (Tate, 1941; Corbet and Hill, 1992; Koopman, 1994; Simmons, 2005; Kuo et al., 2006, 2009; Francis and Eger, 2012). Simmons (2005) listed 17 species of the genus Murina Gray, 1842 and subsequent studies described further 21 species, mostly from southern Asia (Csorba and Bates, 2005; Bumrungsri et al., 2006; Csorba et al., 2007, 2011; Kruskop and Eger, 2008; Furey et al., 2009; Kuo et al., 2009; Eger and Lim, 2011; Francis and Eger, 2012; Ruedi et al., 2012; Soisook et al., 2013a, 2013b; Tu et al., 2015). Inventory studies have been recently conducted in many Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand (10 species — Bumrungsri et al., 2006; Soisook, 2011; Soisook et al., 2013a, 2013b), Laos (eight species — Francis and Eger, 2012), Cambodia (five species — Csorba and Bates, 2005; Matveev and Csorba, 2007; Csorba et al., 2011; Ith et al., 2011), and Myanmar (four species — Bates et al., 2000), indicating that the genus Murina includes interesting forest bats with high species diversity in Asia. The subfamily Murininae also includes further two genera, Harpiocephalus Gray, 1842 and Har piola Thomas, 1915. The validity of the genus Acta Chiropterologica, 17(2): 201–232, 2015 |
