The Sulawesi rousette, or Sulawesi fruit bat (Pilonycteris celebensis), is a megabat of the family Pteropodidae that is endemic to Sulawesi in Indonesia and presently the only member of the genus Pilonycteris. It was formerly classified in the genus Rousettus until 2021, when a phylogenetic study found it belonged to its own genus, more derived than Rousettus, which was described as Pilonycteris; Rousettus linduensis may also belong there. Its tibia is covered in dense fur, its antitragal lobe is fairly reduced and the bony arch of its cheek is narrow and triangular. The Wikipedia list of pteropodids gives its IUCN status as least concern, with a declining population.
