[4] The holotype was collected in November 2007 in Bac Huong Hoa Nature Reserve, which is located in Vietnam.

[3] These three new tube-nosed bats were discovered by a team from the Hungarian Natural History Museum (HNHM) and Fauna and Flora International (FFI).

[9] This bat is small enough to fit in a person's hand, weighing 5.3 and 6.0 grams (0.19 and 0.21 oz).

[3] Its color pattern is unique for the regional habitat: a white underbelly, black head, and dark back.

[8] It lacks the golden guard hairs so common in other members of the genus Murina.

It has been documented in Kon Ka Kinh National Park and Bac Huong Hoa Nature Reserve, both of which are in Vietnam.
