About this species

Habitat
About 200–1,300m
Range
Known from two localities in Vietnam (Ha Tinh) and Laos (Khammouan)

Myotis annatessae is a recently described vesper bat endemic to Vietnam and Laos. It resembles smaller specimens of the wall-roosting mouse-eared bat but differs in cranial and external features. It is known from only two localities, in Ha Tinh province in Vietnam and Khammouan province in Laos, at about 200–1,300 m (Wikipedia, general species account).

The cached account does not list India, although the Indian species list includes this species, so its occurrence here should be checked. It gives no diet, roost or breeding information (Wikipedia, general species account).
