The Fujian tube-nosed bat, Murina rubella, was described by Oldfield Thomas in 1914 as a subspecies of Hutton's tube-nosed bat from Kuatun in Fujian, China. A 2025 study by Luo and colleagues in Zoosystematics and Evolution raised it to a separate species on form and genes. It is recorded from southern China, northern Laos and Vietnam (Mammal Diversity Database).
No measurements, habitat or diet detail was found in the sources used, so this is a short entry.
