discussion
Taxonomic note Görföl et al. (2013) reviewed the currently recognized subspecies of M. montivagus (sensu Corbet and Hill 1992) and proposed that each should be recognized as a distinct species. Furthermore, they suggested that specimens from Laos and Vietnam differ from the geographically closest named form, M. m. montivagus, and probably represent a new, undescribed species. The appropriate name for a second species occurring in Lao PDR, genetically related to this complex, called Myotis CMF sp. E in Francis et al. (2010), has not yet been determined.
