McCoy's blossom bat (Nesonycteris maccoyi) is a blossom bat of the family Pteropodidae that is found in the Solomon Islands, in forest. Tim Flannery described it in 1993. The Wikipedia list of pteropodids places it in the subfamily Macroglossusinae with the other blossom bats of the genus Nesonycteris, and gives its size as 8 to 10 centimetres in length with no tail and a forearm of 5 to 7 centimetres. The same list shows its IUCN status as not evaluated and its population trend as unknown. It has no article of its own on the English Wikipedia, so the list is the main source for this entry.
