Head of Pallas’s Tube-nosed Fruit Bat is broad, with deep face, broad, bluntly pointed ears, and tubular divergent nostrils. Eyes are large, with amberirises. Pelage is thick and woolly. Dorsal pelage is mottled gray and brown (hairs with dark brown bases, pale gray brown middles, and medium brown tips), with distinctive thin dark blackish brown mid-dorsal stripe (3-5- 5 mm thick) stretching from shoulders to rump. Ventral pelage is pale grayish brown, with some yellowish patches. Females generally have paler dorsum than males. There is yellow spotting on forearms, wings, and ears (ears sometimes not spotted); wings are dark brown, with greenish wash. Second digit of wing has a claw, and wing attaches at second digit of foot. Tail is short, black, and wrinkled, and narrow uropatagium connects at base and stretches to calcar at ankles. Claws are brown. Skull and mandible are robust; rostrum is short; incisive foramen to posterior palatal length is shorter relative to postorbital breadth compared with the Common Tube-nosed Fruit Bat (N. albiventer ); condylo-basal length is generally longer relative to both rostrum height, interorbital breadth, and cranial height compared with Keast’s Tube-nosed Fruit Bat (N. keasti ); lambdoidal and sagittal crests are moderately developed; and margin of posterior palate is a broad U-shape and extends well beyond M'.

Helgen pers. comm.).	20000000	Nyctimene cephalotes	Least Concern		2016	2016-01-18 00:00:00 UTC	3.1	English	Although there is some lack of clarity about the full range of this species, it is listed as Least Concern in view of its wide distribution, presumed large population, and because it is unlikely to be declining at nearly the rate required to qualify for listing in a threatened category.	This species is fairly reliant on good primary tropical moist forest. It roosts singly, in trees (where it appears like a leaf when roosting). It is primarily frugivorous, but may also take insects. Of the four females collected on Sanana in mid-November by Flannery (1995), two were found to be pregnant.	Deforestation is a serious threat, and indeed the species may be extirpated from Timor due to near complete loss of primary moist forest (K. Helgen pers. comm.). This species also is hunted for food in parts of its range, and is occasionally found for sale in markets.	The species is common in less disturbed environments.	Unknown	This species has been recorded from the islands of Sulawesi, Seram, Mangole, Sanana, Buru, Ambon, and Tanimbar (all Indonesia), and from the island of Timor (Timor-Leste and Indonesia) though it may no longer be present here (K. Helgen pers. comm.). Records from Moa Island, Queensland, Australia probably refer to Nyctimene robinsoni . Mainland New Guinea records are possibly misidentifications of N. robinsoni , and are marked on the map as possible range of N. robinsoni . A record from Numfoor Island, Indonesia, represents a separate, undescribed Geelvinck Bay bat taxon (K. Helgen pers. comm.). This species ranges from sea level to at least 1,800 m asl.		Terrestrial	It is present in some protected areas in Indonesia (e.g., Lore Lindu, Bogani Nani Wartabone, Manusela). Records from Moa Island, Queensland, Australia and New Guinea need further identification and/or taxonomic work and are currently treated as N. robinsoni .
