A New Species of Murina (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) from Yunnan, China
During an examination of various specimens previously collected from different locations and times, we discovered seven <i>Murina</i> specimens that had been collected in May 2023 from the Guanyinshan Provincial Nature Reserve, Yuanyang, Yunnan, China. Based on the assessment of morphological characteristics and molecular data analysis, these specimens were determined to represent a previously unidentified species, designated <i>Murina yuanyang</i> sp. nov.
