Lesser tube-nosed bat range

The lesser tube-nosed bat (Nyctimene minutus) is a species of megabat in the family Pteropodidae. It is native to two of the Maluku Islands (Spice Islands) in northern Indonesia.

Taxonomy

[edit]

The lesser tube-nosed bat was described as a new species in 1910 by Danish mammalogist Knud Andersen. The holotype had been collected by Alfred Russel WallaceinTondano, Indonesia.[2] Two subspecies are recognized, with Andersen also the taxonomic authority: N. m. minutus and N. m. varius.[3]

Description

[edit]

The lesser tube-nosed bat has a forearm length of approximately 51 mm (2.0 in).[2]

Range and status

[edit]

The bat is endemic to the mountainous forests of Buru and Seram IslandsinMaluku Province. It is not found on nearby Ambon Island. It has been documented at a range of elevations from 700–900 m (2,300–3,000 ft) above sea level. Its habitat is mid-montane forests.[1]

In 2008, it was evaluated as a vulnerable species by the IUCN.[1]
