Nyctimene draconilla Thomas 1922 , Nova Guinea, 13: 725.

Type Locality: Indonesia, Prov. of Papua, Southern Div., Lorentz River, Bivak Isl.

Vernacular Names: Dragon Tube-nosed Fruit Bat.

Conservation: IUCN / SSC Action Plan (1992) – Rare. IUCN 2003 – Vulnerable.

Discussion: albiventer species group. Considered a subspecies of albiventer by Laurie and Hill (1954), but see Hill (1983), Koopman (1982), Flannery (1995 a), and Bonaccorso (1998), all of whom treated it as distinct, though with some reservations. Bergmans (2001) questioned the validity of this species but did not revise it.
