Harrison's tube-nosed bat is a species of vesper bat that was only recently discovered and described. Within the genus Murina it belongs to the so-called 'cyclotis-group'. It is characterised by the attachment point of the plagiopatagium, its large skull size, the distinctive shape of the rostrum and the relative sizes of the upper incisors (Wikipedia, general species account).

It is known from Kirirom National Park, Cambodia, where it was collected in disturbed semi-evergreen gallery forest, and is also recorded from Thailand.
