The golden-haired tube-nosed bat is a vesper bat native to southern China and northern Vietnam, where it is thought to be restricted to evergreen forests in the highlands. It is a very small species of tube-nosed bat with a narrower braincase and wider canines than others of its genus, and a coat of black and golden bands, the golden bands giving the species its name (Wikipedia, general species account).

It is known from only three specimens, collected on the border between the two countries. It is possibly affected by habitat loss due to logging (Wikipedia, general species account).
