Abstract: The article discusses a study on cryptic diversity in Chinese rhinolophids and hipposiderids through complete sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene. According to the study conducted in China, where 99 specimens where taken, found that there is high divergence of over 5 percent within Hipposideros pomona, Coelops frithi and Aselliscus stoliczkanus which reflect the possibility of cryptic diversity. It also showed that R. macrotis S.l. and an unidentified species have similar genetics.
