The Malaita tube-nosed fruit bat (Nyctimene malaitensis) is a bat of the family Pteropodidae that is endemic to the islands of Malaita and Makira, formerly San Cristobal, in the Solomon Islands. The species occurs in primary tropical moist forest. It is one of the tube-nosed fruit bats of the genus Nyctimene, which the Wikipedia list of pteropodids places in the subfamily Nyctimeninae. The same list gives its IUCN status as least concern and records its population trend as unknown. Its own article is only two sentences long, so little else about its biology is recorded there.
