    Abstract:

    On May 2023, two female bats were sampled utilizing harp nets in the forest surrounding Zhaikou Village, Xixi Town, Yongkang City, Zhejiang Province (120°17′02″ E, 28°58′09″ N, 273 m). They display petite dimensions, featuring forearms measuring 30.66 mm and 30.79 mm, respectively. These samples exhibit absent nasal lobes and funnel-shaped ears. The tragi are mildly lanceolate and relatively slender. The total length of the cranium measures 14.51 mm and 14.67 mm, respectively, with a tooth pattern of 2.1.3.3/3.1.3.3 = 38, and robust maxillary canine teeth. All aforementioned traits corroborate with the identification of the Woolly Bat Kerivoula furva. The phylogenetic data derived from the partial sequence of mitochondrial COI gene also validates the morphological identification results. Therefore, the two Zhejiang samples were identified as K. furva, representing a novel distribution record of Chiroptera in Zhejiang Province, China. Presently, these specimens are preserved inKey Laboratory of WildlifeBiotechnology and Conservation and Utilization of Zhejiang Province.
