Okinawa flying fox

The Okinawa flying fox (Pteropus loochoensis) is a megabat of the genus Pteropus that is endemic to possibly Japan. It was previously listed as extinct by the IUCN, but because the known specimens are taxonomically uncertain and of unknown provenance its status was changed to data deficient. Some authorities place it in synonymy under Pteropus mariannus. Two specimens are in the British Natural History Museum and the whereabouts of a third is unknown. Two of the specimens are believed to have come from Southeast Asia, so the true distribution of the species is unknown.
