The greenish naked-backed fruit bat (Dobsonia viridis) is a megabat of the family Pteropodidae that is endemic to some of the northeastern Lesser Sunda Islands in Indonesia. It is found on the Kai Islands, the Banda Islands and the central and southern Molucca Islands, including Seram, Ambon and Buru. It is one of the naked-backed fruit bats of the genus Dobsonia and is similar in appearance to the Halmahera naked-backed fruit bat, which is larger. The Wikipedia list of pteropodids gives its IUCN status as least concern, names forest and caves as its habitat and describes its population as steady.
