The white-winged flying fox, also known as the mottle-winged flying fox (Desmalopex leucoptera), is a bat of the family Pteropodidae that is endemic to the Philippines. Its natural habitats are subtropical and tropical dry forests. In 2008 Giannini and colleagues revived the genus Desmalopex and placed this species in it. The Wikipedia list of pteropodids places it in the subfamily Pteropodinae, names forest and grassland as its habitat, gives its IUCN status as vulnerable and describes its population as declining.
