The intraspecific variability of Myotis petax control region was studied for 147 specimens from all species range. We found three highly divergent genetic lineages named I, II and III. The II and III lineages are distributed only on South Korea and Kunashir Island, respectively. The distribution of the most widespread lineage I include mainland part of the range and Sakhalin Island. The lineage I is subdivided in three separated groups: IA, IB, IC. The IA group is found throughout the west part of the range, including West and East Siberia and the Altai Mountains. Besides that this group prevails in the south part of Primorsky Krai. The most of the specimens from Primorsky Velican cave and the Khasan District are identified as IA group. Also the single individuals of this group were detected in Khabarovsk Krai. The distribution of the IB group includes Khabarovsk Krai, the Republic of Yakutia and Sakhalin Island. The single specimens were found in the Primorsky Krai and China (Jilin). The IC group is differing from other groups in the presence of additional tandem repeats in control region. The range of this group is restricted the Upper and Middle Amur and the Transbaikalia, but the single individuals are occurred in Primorsky Krai. Thus, we revealed all three groups of lineage I in the Primorsky Krai. The other regions when different groups found together are Transbaikalia (IA and IC) and Khabarovsk Krai (IA and IB). Summarizing, we can conclude that the genetic structure of Myotis petax is explored only in outline and partly correlated with the previously described morphological forms. A detailed study of the formation of the observed intraspecific structure should be the purpose of further research.
