Broad-striped tube-nosed fruit bat

Mammals

The broad-striped tube-nosed fruit bat, also known as the greater tube-nosed bat (Nyctimene aello), is a megabat in the genus Nyctimene found in West Papua in Indonesia, in Papua New Guinea and in the central Philippines. In 1912 Andersen distinguished it by the very broad dorsal stripe on the centre of its back. It is believed to exist at low densities, yet the IUCN estimates its population to be stable and sees no major threats to its continued existence. The IUCN treats Nyctimene celaeno as a synonym of this species, though as of 2013 the ITIS lists it as a separate species.
