管鼻蝠(Murina)隶属于翼手目(Chiroptera)蝙蝠科(Vespertilionidae),为森林性小型蝙蝠,遍布整个亚洲大陆,从巴基斯坦东北部到西伯利亚、韩国、日本直至澳大利亚南部(Corbet and Hill,1992)。Simmons(2005)记录世界上管鼻蝠属有17种,之后陆续发表了17个管鼻蝠新种(或亚种提升为种)。
In 2012 and 2013,three and nine bat specimens were collected respectively from Nanling National Nature Reserve in Guangdong Province and Jinggangshan National Nature Reserve in Jiangxi Province. All specimens were small sized with forearm length of 30. 51 to 34. 62 mm and orange-yellow ventral fur. Based on their external and skull characteristics,they were identified as Murina shuipuensis; a newly named species reported by Eger and Lim( 2011) from Guizhou. These are the first record in the Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces outside of its type locality( Shuipu Village,Libo County,Guizhou,China). All specimens were deposited in the Key Laboratory of Conservation and Application in Biodiversity of South China in Guangzhou University.
