The Eastern Water bat, Myotis petax Hollister, 1912 is a common Far Eastern Myotis species. It was previously included in M. daubentoni Kuhl, 1817, but differs from the last one by the molecular, morphological and ecological data. In this paper, we present karyological data of M. petax from the southern part of the Russian Far East. All specimens examined showed the same patterns of distribution of nucleolus organizer regions (NORs). The considerable intraspecific variability in the distributional patterns of heterochromatic material in karyotypes of specimens of M. petax was detected. The karyological differences between M. petax and M. daubentonii are reported for the first time.
