The Mindanao fruit bat (Ptenochirus wetmorei) is a megabat found in Southeast Asia. It was previously included in the genus Megaerops as the white-collared fruit bat, but was split into Ptenochirus wetmorei and Megaerops albicollis, with the latter keeping the common name white-collared fruit bat. A specimen held by the Brunei Museum had a forearm of 48 millimetres, a head and body length of 65 millimetres, ears of 12 millimetres and hind feet of 8 millimetres, and weighed 16 grams. The Wikipedia list of pteropodids gives its IUCN status as near threatened, names forest as its habitat and describes its population as declining.
