• Myotis
• cryptic diversity
• South-East Asia
• Vietnam
• DNA barcoding

Based on the combination of cranial morphometry, morphology, DNA Barcoding data and one nuclear marker, the new species of Myotis is described from the Central Highlands of Vietnam and Laos. Externally resembling the recently described Myotis annatessae, it differs in a combination of external and craniometric characters and the sequence patterns of the DNA barcode region of COI and RAG2 nuclear gene. It is also markedly distinct from sympatrically co-occurring Al. muricola and Al siligorensis, with which it may be confused in the field. Further data are provided on the M. "annatessae" species complex, including a putative range extension into West Bengal and a new geographic record forts. annatessae s. str. from North Vietnam.
