摘要

Forty-two species of tube-nosed bat, genus Murina, are distributed across Asia but none has hitherto been reported from Bangladesh. Here we document the first record of Murina from Bangladesh, based on an adult male specimen captured in Rema-Kalenga Wildlife Sanctuary, in July 2023, using a four-bank harp trap set in a forest trail. On the basis of external and cranial morphometrics, it is referred to the round-eared tube-nosed bat Murina cyclotis Dobson (Proc Asiat Soc Bengal 1872:208–210, 1872). The discovery of this forest-dependent insectivorous bat in Bangladesh not only increases the number of bat species known from the country to 36 but also contributes to the broader knowledge of bat distributions across South Asia.
