The lesser musky fruit bat (Ptenochirus minor) is a megabat of the family Pteropodidae that is endemic to the Philippines. It is one of the musky fruit bats of the genus Ptenochirus and is smaller than the greater musky fruit bat that shares the genus. The Wikipedia list of pteropodids places it in the subfamily Cynopterinae, gives its IUCN status as least concern, names forest as its habitat and describes its population as steady. Its own article is a single sentence about its range, so little else about its biology is recorded there.
