The Burmese whiskered myotis is a vesper bat found in China, India, Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam. It ranges from north-eastern India north to southern China and south to northern Myanmar, and an isolated population in Laos and Vietnam is not considered part of the species by some authorities (Wikipedia, general species account).
It is thought to inhabit tropical montane forest for most of its range, though in Vietnam it is also known from lowland habitats, including farm fields. The cached account gives no description, diet or breeding information (Wikipedia, general species account).
