Lorelie's tube-nosed bat (Murina lorelieae) is a species of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae. It is endemic to southern China , where it is known only from Yunnan and Guangxi provinces. It is named after chiropterist Lorelie Mitchell.[1][2]

It is a small Murina with a reddish-brown dorsum, with a black mask on the face. It closely resembles the sympatric round-eared tube-nosed bat (M. cyclotis).[3]

It is possibly affected by habitat loss due to logging.[1]
