Sulawesi black-capped fruit bat

Mammals

The Sulawesi black-capped fruit bat (Chironax tumulus) is a megabat of the family Pteropodidae found in Indonesia, in forest and caves. Wim Bergmans and Frank Gerard Rozendaal described it in 1988. The Wikipedia list of pteropodids places it in the subfamily Cynopterinae with the black-capped fruit bat, the other species of the genus Chironax, and gives its size as about 6 centimetres in length with no tail and a forearm of 4 to 5 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.
