The dusky fruit bat (Penthetor lucasi) is a fruit bat of the family Pteropodidae found in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. It is a species of Southeast Asia that serves as both a pollinator and a seed disperser in its ecosystem, and its ability to travel long distances makes it an especially good seed disperser. The Wikipedia list of pteropodids places it in the subfamily Cynopterinae as the only species of its genus, gives its IUCN status as least concern, names forest and caves as its habitat and describes its population as declining.
