The East African little collared fruit bat (Myonycteris relicta) is a megabat of the family Pteropodidae found in Kenya, Tanzania and Zimbabwe. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forest and moist savanna. It is one of the collared fruit bats of the genus Myonycteris, and the Wikipedia list of pteropodids places it in the subfamily Rousettinae, gives its range as eastern Africa, its IUCN status as least concern and describes its population as declining. Its own article is only two sentences long, so little else about its biology is recorded there.
