Andersen's naked-backed fruit bat or Andersen's bare-backed fruit bat (Dobsonia anderseni megabat in the family Pteropodidae. It is endemic to the Bismarck Archipelago including the Admiralty Islands in Papua New Guinea .
Taxonomy and etymology [ edit ]
It was described as a new species in 1914 by British zoologist Oldfield Thomas . The holotype used to describe the species was collected by Albert Stewart Meek and his brother-in-law, Albert Frederic Eichhorn, in October 1913. The eponym for the species name "anderseni " is Danish mammalogist Knud Andersen . Of Andersen, Thomas wrote: "I have named the species in honour of Dr. K. Andersen, in recognition of the striking monograph of Dobsonia contained in his Catalogue, a monograph which has entirely revolutionized our knowledge of the group."[2]
Description [ edit ]
Its forearm length is 123–125 mm (4.8–4.9 in ). Its fur is very dark brown, with its head nearly black.[2]
Range and habitat [ edit ]
Its range includes several islands of Papua New Guinea . It has been documented at elevations up to 1,500 m (4,900 ft ) above sea level.[1]
Conservation [ edit ]
As of 2020, it is listed as a least-concern species by the IUCN . Threats to this species include overharvesting for bushmeat or disturbance of the caves where it roosts during the day.[1]
