A bat survey was conducted in Nanjing Fangshan Scenic Area and Jiangsu Yancheng Wetland and Rare Birds National Nature Reserve in Jiangsu Province in July 2023. Two male bats were captured using mist nets and hand-held nets. One specimen is small, with a forearm length of 34. 0 mm. Its ear is long and narrow and the tragus is straight and slender, reaching half the length of the ear. The skull is long and narrow, with a total cranial length of 12. 8 mm. The cranium is full and prominent. The sagittal ridge is thin, and the herringbone ridge is not obvious. The dental formula is 2. 1. 3. 3/3. 1. 3. 3 = 38. These characteristics are consistent with Myotis siligorensis. The other specimen is mediumsized, with a forearm length of 48. 4 mm. The wings are long and narrow, and are inverted when resting. The ears are short and round with a small tragus. The snout is low and slightly wide, with the tip slightly upturned and the middle slightly concave. The cranium is high, large and round, with a total cranial length of 16. 0 mm. The sagittal ridge is low and slender and the herringbone ridge is not obvious. Dental formula is 2. 1. 2. 3/3. 1. 3. 3 = 36. These characteristics accord with those of Miniopterus fuliginosus. The identification was further validated by phylogenetic inference using Cyt b gene. Therefore, the bats collected in this study are identified as Myotis siligorensis and Miniopterus fuliginosus respectively, which are new bat records in Jiangsu Province. Our finding enriches the knowledge of bat diversity and distribution in Jiangsu Province.
