Suhaniah fruit bat

The Suhaniah fruit bat (Thoopterus suhaniahae) is a megabat of the family Pteropodidae that is native to Indonesia and was described in 2012. The holotype was collected in Lore Lindu National Park on Sulawesi in 2000. Before its description the genus Thoopterus was believed to hold only the swift fruit bat, until scientists found that bats in southwest Sulawesi were larger in body, skull and jaw than those in the north and split them off under this name, which honours Suhaniah, the wife of Mohamad Yani. The species is sexually dimorphic: males have a head and body length of 89.3 to 109.7 millimetres and females 86.0 to 101.1 millimetres. The list of pteropodids gives its IUCN status as least concern.
