Conservation: IUCN / SSC Action Plan (1992) – Not Threatened. IUCN 2003 – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Subgenus Rousettus . Revised by Rookmaaker and Bergmans (1981); also see Hill (1983), Bergmans and Rozendaal (1988), and Flannery (1995 a, b). Peterson et al. (1995) suggested that brachyotis and minor may represent distinct species. Subspecies allocation of Sulawesi and Kasi Isl ( Indonesia) populations is uncertain; see Koopman (1994) and Kompanje and Moeliker (2001).
