Nyctimene certans K. Andersen 1912 , Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 9, 8: 95.

Type Locality: New Guinea, Prov. of Papua, Mount Goliath.

Vernacular Names: Mountain Tube-nosed Fruit Bat.

Distribution: New Guinea.

Conservation: IUCN / SSC Action Plan (1992) – Rare as N. cyclotis certans . IUCN 2003 – Lower Risk (nt).

Discussion: cyclotis species group. Formerly included in cyclotis but see Peterson (1991) and Flannery (1995 a). Also see Bonaccorso (1998), who included certans in cyclotis . The relationship between these forms remains unclear and they may be conspecific (K. Helgen, pers. comm.).
