Pteropodidae
(Fruit
Bats)
The number of fruit bats known from the Philippines has increased from 23 to 25, with the addition of yet-undescribed species of Haplonycteris from Sibuyan and Pteropus from Mindoro and the new record of Pteropus dasymallus from the Babuyan islands along with the inclusion of Acerodon lucifer as a synomyn of Acerodon jubatus (as discussed within that page). Distribution patterns were analyzed by Heaney (1991b,) and Heaney and Rickart (1990), Koopman (1989), feeding ecology by Utzurrum (1995), and chromosomes by Rickart et al., (1989a). The appearance of a representative species is shown here. Species found in the Philippines: • Acerodon jubatus |
