The New Guinea naked-backed fruit bat (Dobsonia magna, sometimes treated as Dobsonia moluccensis magna) is a megabat native to Papua New Guinea and the Indonesian islands of Waigeo, Yapen, Batanta and Misool. It is one of the naked-backed fruit bats of the genus Dobsonia and is larger than the bare-backed fruit bat, with which its relationship has been questioned. The Wikipedia list of pteropodids places it in the subfamily Harpyionycterinae, gives its IUCN status as least concern, names forest, rocky areas and caves as its habitat and records its population trend as unknown. Its own article is a single sentence about its range.
