The steadfast tube-nosed fruit bat (Paranyctimene tenax) is a megabat of the family Pteropodidae found in West Papua in Indonesia and in Papua New Guinea. It was first proposed as a subgeneric arrangement of Nyctimene, published as Nyctimene (Paranyctimene) tenax. The epithet tenax, Latin for steadfast, was meant to describe the conservation work of Peter Nijhoff, whose retirement was announced when the new species was discovered, and the subspecific epithet marculus, Latin for little hammer, is a diminutive of Marc Argeloo's name, honouring his bat collections for the Amsterdam Zoological Museum. The list of pteropodids gives its IUCN status as least concern.
