Résumé :	The Cryptic myotis is a recently described species that is still poorly known. In order to best assess its conservation status, it is important to specify its range. In the Camargue, despite a significant historical sampling effort, the species had never been contacted. In 2018, an acoustic survey conducted in relict alluvial forests revealed the presence of the species. Although contacted every month from March to October, the species seems to be rare in the Camargue and, in general, in the anthropised plain of the lower Rhône valley. We assume that the reduction and fragmentation of woodland areas could be one of the main causes. Further studies are needed to clarify the distribution and status of the species in the Camargue. In the future, land development projects impacting habitats favourable to the Cryptic myotis should take into account the issues inherent to this species.
