Subspecies: :

Subspecies Pteropus temminckii subsp. temminckii Peters 1867

Subspecies Pteropus temminckii subsp. liops Thomas 1910

Distribution: Buru, Ambon, Seram ( Indonesia); nearby small islands; perhaps Timor Isl ( Indonesia).

Conservation: CITES – Appendix II. IUCN / SSC Action Plan (1992) – No Data. IUCN 2003 – Lower Risk (nt).

Discussion: personatus species group. Does not include capistratus ; see Flannery (1995 b) and Bonaccorso (1998). This name is variously spelled " temmincki " and " temminckii "; I follow Bergmans (2001) in preferring the latter because it is the original spelling.
