The Gloomy Tube-Nosed Bat (Murina tenebrosa) is a species of vesper bat in the Vespertilionidae family. It is only known by the holotype, an old female, collected on Tsushima Island in 1962. It might be possibly extinct as Tshushima is badly deforested and surveys to rediscover this species failed.
