During the field surveys, held in the framework of activities of the Vietnamese-Russian Tropical Center, two remarkable bat records were made in Vietnamese provinces Dong Nai and Kon Tum. Adult female of Hipposideros swinhoei was captured in Cat Tien National Park, more than in 1,000 km south from previously known localities. Adult females of Nyctalus cf. labiata were captured in Kon Plong forestry, representing probably the first exact Indochinese locality for this species. Both records provide new valuable information about distribution of Palaearctic faunal elements in Asian tropical areas.
