We recently sequenced the cytochrome- b  gene of six Chinese  Myotis  species, added their molecular systematics into the previous molecular phylogenetic studies on the Old World  Myotis , and clarified the phylogenetic status of these East Asian species. The results demonstrate that most Old World  Myotis  are divided into six clades, namely Clade I–Clade VII and the Ethiopian Clade. All the “ daubentonii ” species referred to here, such as  Myotis capaccinii ,  M. daubentonii ,  M. longipes ,  M. fimbriatus , and  M. macrodactylus , are divergent from each other, indicating that the questionable species  M. longipes  and  M. fimbriatus  are valid species, and supports that the morphological and behavioral resemblance in the “ daubentonii ” group are caused by convergent evolution.  Myotis altarium  forms a monophyletic group with two allopatric species  M. ikonnikovi  and  M. mystacinus , suggesting that their morphological differences might have been caused by their eco-environmental differences. Our data also imply the abundance of species diversity in a certain clade, which consists of  M. davidii ,  M. siligorensis ,  M. longipes , and two unidentified species  M. sp1  and  M. sp2 .
