The New Guinea tube-nosed bat (Nyctimene wrightae) is a megabat of the genus Nyctimene found on New Guinea, in forest and inland wetlands. Nancy Irwin described it in 2017. The Wikipedia list of pteropodids places it in the subfamily Nyctimeninae and gives its size as 8 to 9 centimetres in length plus a tail of 1 to 3 centimetres, with a forearm of 5 to 7 centimetres. The same list gives its IUCN status as least concern and describes its population as steady. It has no article of its own on the English Wikipedia.
