The hidden tube-nosed bat (Murina recondita) is a species of bat found in Taiwan. [1]
Murina recondita was described as a new species in 2009. The holotype had been collected in 2003 in Ruisui, Taiwan. Its species name "recondita" means "hidden" or "concealed", and was chosen in reference to the dull coloration of its fur. [2]
It is a smaller member of its genus, with a forearm length of 28–31.5 mm (1.10–1.24 in). [2]
Murina recondita is endemic to Taiwan, where it occurs in hilly and mountainous areas. It has been documented at a range of elevations from 40–2,200 m (130–7,220 ft) above sea level. [1]
The Japanese house bat, also known as Japanese pipistrelle, is a species of vesper bat. An adult has a body length of 3.6–4.8 cm (1.4–1.9 in), a tail of 2.9–4.0 cm (1.1–1.6 in), and a wing length of 3.2–3.6 cm (1.3–1.4 in). It prefers to roost under the ceiling or inside the roof of old buildings. It is found across East Asia, from China and Taiwan into the Ussuri region, the Korean Peninsula, and Japan.

The gloomy tube-nosed bat is a species of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae. It is only known by the holotype, an old female, collected on Tsushima Island in 1962. It might be possibly extinct as Tsushima is badly deforested and surveys to rediscover this species failed. Due to its imperiled status, it is identified by the Alliance for Zero Extinction as a species in danger of imminent extinction.
