The New Britain naked-backed fruit bat (Dobsonia praedatrix) is a megabat of the family Pteropodidae that is endemic to the island of New Britain in northern Papua New Guinea. It is one of the naked-backed fruit bats of the genus Dobsonia, which the Wikipedia list of pteropodids places in the subfamily Harpyionycterinae. The same list gives its IUCN status as least concern, names forest and caves as its habitat and records its population trend as unknown. Its own article is a single sentence about its range, so little else about its biology is recorded there.
