The mountain tube-nosed fruit bat (Nyctimene certans) is a megabat of the family Pteropodidae that is endemic to New Guinea and to New Britain. 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 range as New Guinea and New Britain, its IUCN status as least concern, forest as its habitat and its population as steady. Its own article is a single sentence about its range, so little else about its biology is recorded there.
