Lesser tube-nosed fruit bat

Mammals

The lesser tube-nosed fruit bat, or unstriped tube-nosed bat (Paranyctimene raptor), is a megabat of the family Pteropodidae found in West Papua in Indonesia and in Papua New Guinea. George H. H. Tate first described it in 1942, and the species was re-diagnosed when a sympatric species was described in 2001, because the first description did not adequately exclude the new species and specimens recorded as Paranyctimene raptor may have been misdiagnosed. The 2001 revision re-allocated specimens from the type locality and treated Paranyctimene only as a subgenus of Nyctimene. The list of pteropodids gives its IUCN status as least concern.
