Type Locality: Indonesia, Talaud Isls, Lirong.

Vernacular Names: Talaud Fruit Bat.

Distribution: Talaud Isls ( Indonesia).

Conservation: CITES – Appendix II. IUCN / SSC Action Plan (1992) – No Data: Limited Distribution. IUCN 2003 – Vulnerable.

Discussion: Previously known only from the holotype, which Flannery (1995 b) suggested might be a chimera consisting of a mismatched skull from an individual of celebensis and a skin of a Pteropus hypomelanus However, Feiler (1990) described two additional museum specimens, and a living population of this taxon has recently been rediscovered ( Riley, 2001). It appears to represent a distinct species.
