Abstract: In July 2022 and July 2023, two bats were captured using mist nets in Jian Village, Dongguan Town, Qixian County, Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province, and Qianlijia Village, Huoshui Town, Wuan City, Hebei Province, respectively. The external morphology of the samples from Shanxi and Hebei were assessed, echolocation sound waves were recorded, and Cyt b sequences were amplified from the wing membrane. Additionally, the skulls of the Shanxi and Hebei specimens were dissected and measured. The fur color of the two specimens exhibited a light hue with a dark brown root. They exhibited darker ears and faces, with the wing membrane originating at the base of the toe, the tail membrane at the ankle joint, and the tail extending beyond the tail membrane by approximately 3 mm. Their forearm lengths are 34. 3 mm and 35. 6 mm, tail lengths are 38. 5 mm and 40. 2 mm, ear lengths are 10. 9 mm and 10. 5 mm, and the greatest length of the skull are 13. 0 mm and 14. 0 mm. External and cranial measurements were consistent with those of Hypsugo alaschanicus. Their echolocation calls exhibited frequency modulation (FM) and peak frequencies of 60. 0 kHz and 64. 2 kHz. Analysis of the phylogenetic tree constructed using Cyt b gene sequences indicated that the samples from Shanxi and Hebei formed a cluster with H. alaschanicus, consistent with the results of morphological characterization. The H. alaschanicus specimen from Shanxi represents a new Chiroptera record in the province.
