“…The most typical flight pattern is one of ovais, 5 -15 cm above the water's surface, but with occasional shift to 30-60 cm. The foraging behavior is very similar on the whole to that of the European M. daubentonii (Jones and Rayner 1988 ;Kaiko and Schnitzler 1989) and to the Nepalese M. csorbai (Csorba et al 1999). Echolocation calls are high intensity with steep FM sweep from ca.…”

“…The newly described Myotis is most similar to M. csorbai, another small species in the daubentonii group, that is found in the foothills of the Himalayas in central Nepal (Topal 1997;Csorba et al 1999). Significant differences in the rostrual and mandibular measurements and the shape of the canines and bacula lead us to treat M. annamiticus as a full species.…”

Summary. -A very small of species Myotis in the Myotis daubentoni group was found in a valley of the foothills of the Annamit Mountains, Quan Binh Province, Vietnam. Thirteen specimens of this bat were compared with other Eurasian big-footed bats. Analysis of external and skull morphology indicate this Vietnamese form should be described as a new species. Compared to other species of Myotis the new taxon is most closely related morphologically to the recentely described Himalayan M. csorbai Topal, 1997.Resume. -Un tres petit Myotis du groupe daubentoni a ete decouvert dans les contreforts de la province de Quan Binh auVietnam. Treize exemplaires ont ete compares aux autres Myotis de meme groupe qui habitent en Europe et Asie. La morphologie generale et celle du crane permettent de presenter la forme vietnamienne comme une espece nouvelle. Parmi les Myotis Ie nouveau taxon est plus proche de 1'espece himalayienne M. csorbai Topal, 1997.

“…The nominate one ranges from north-eastern India and Vietnam to the Lesser Sundas and most of Borneo (Corbet & Hill, 1992;Koopman, 1994). However, Cambodian specimens presented in this study are conspicuously smaller than those from Nepal the type locality for Myotis muricola (for measurements see Tate, 1941a andCsorba et al, 1999). Moreover, the recent genetic analysis (Bannikova et al, 2002) demonstrated that Cambodian specimens (material from other parts of Indochina was not available) are very likely to represent a distinct species.…”

Thirty-one bat species have been registered in the course of two expeditions to Cambodia in JanuaryFebruary 2000 and JulySeptember 2002. Eight of them, namely Macroglossus sobrinus, Taphozous theobaldi, Hipposideros cineraceus, H. galeritus, Rhinolophus pusillus, Miniopterus schreibersii, Miniopterus sp., and Harpiocephalus harpia are reported from Cambodia for the first time. Occurrence of Rousettus leschenaulti and Pteropus hypomelanus is confirmed, while that of Saccolaimus saccolaimus, on contrary, rejected. Specific distinctiveness of Harpiocephalus mordax has been rejected in the view of the latest findings, including the molecular data. It should be regarded as a synonym of H. harpia. One species, Miniopterus sp., is not identified at this stage, and is likely to represent a new species. In general, Cambodian bat fauna could be characterised as typical Indomalayan, with almost 70% of its registered species not occurring outside the region. It is lacking any species common in the neighbouring zoogeographic regions, with only one, Miniopterus schreibersii, occurring throughout the Old World, Australia, and Oceania. An annotated species list, with notes on taxonomy, distribution and occasionally ecology is presented. Selected measurements have been given as well. Updated checklist with 48 registered bat species is proposed.
