The Malayan spotted-winged fruit bat (Balionycteris seimundi) is a megabat of the family Pteropodidae that the Wikipedia list of pteropodids places in the subfamily Cynopterinae, giving its range as Malaysia and its habitat as forest. C. Boden Kloss described it in 1921. It is a small bat of about 5 to 7 centimetres in length with no tail and a forearm of 4 to 5 centimetres. The same list gives its IUCN status as least concern and describes its population as steady. It shares the genus Balionycteris with the spotted-winged fruit bat, and it has no article of its own on the English Wikipedia, so the list is the main source for this entry.
