As currently recognized, it likely includes multiple species and might also include N. malaitensis as a subspecies or synonym. Subspecies bougainville has been variously included as a subspecies or a distinct species (including N. malaitensis ), and N. vizcaccia would often be included as a synonym or subspecies of N. albiventer . Nyctimene vizcaccia has also been included under N. cephalotes , but this is no longer accepted. Nyctimene vizcaccia includes bougainville as a subspecies tentatively here, although they are likely distinct species.

Authors vary widely in the species they recognize. Simmons (2005) considers the Bismarck Archipelago and Solomon Islands to support populations of N. vizcaccia , but note that an additional form of ‘albiventer ’ is also present on the islands of the Bismarck Archipelago. Several other authors have noted more than one form of ‘albiventer ‘ and ‘vizcaccia ’ (e.g. Aplin et al. 2015, Aplin and Opiang 2011, Anthony et al. 2001) in the Admiralty and Bismarck archipelagos. Molecular and morphological studies will be required to determine the true affinities of regional populations currently referred to as N. vizcaccia and N. albiventer .	20000000	Nyctimene vizcaccia	Least Concern		2020	2019-07-29 00:00:00 UTC	3.1	English	Listed as Least Concern in view of its wide range and presumed large population, and because its habitat is unlikely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a more threatened category. However, once the taxonomy is resolved, a reassessment may be required as habitat of some island populations may be declining fast enough (e.g. see Bryan et al. 2015, Katovai et al. 2015) to qualify for listing in a more threatened category.	The Umboi Tube-nosed Bat is associated with closed-canopy, primary tropical moist forest. In PNG it is reportedly rarely present in early secondary growth forest or plantations (Bonaccorso 1998). In the Solomon Islands it is usually the most abundant species in both primary and secondary forest. Flannery (1995) suggests it may be more common in primary forest, and capture rates can be high in old growth forests (T. Leary pers. comm.). Recent surveys in Solomon Islands however, found no difference in capture rates between logged and unlogged forest (T. Lavery pers. comm.). Animals roost individually or occasionally in pairs amongst dense foliage in trees and high shrubs (Bonaccorso 1998, T. Leary pers. comm.). The species is suggested to be a dietary specialist feeding primarily on figs (Bonaccorso 1998), but has also been observed feeding on other small forest fruits such as Syzygium spp. (T. Leary pers. comm.). Little is known of the reproduction of the species but likely bears a single young.	The Umboi tube-nosed bat is threatened in the Bismarck Archipelago by logging (Bonaccorso 1998), and populations may be threatened on other islands from logging, although it seems to persist providing there is at least some closed canopy forest remaining (T. Leary pers. comm.). Many of the islands in the Solomon Island part of the species range have been, and continue to be logged (Katovai et al. 2015). Recent re-entry logging on less than 35 year rotations has the greatest potential to impact the species, with remaining closed canopy forests being removed or degraded (T. Leary pers. comm.). Conversion of forest to oil palm plantations may be a threat in parts of the species range.	Population trends are unknown but it is generally a common species across its range, particularly in primary rainforest (Flannery 1995, Bonaccorso 1998). It is typically the most common species captured in mist net surveys in Solomon Islands. Repeat surveys in Western Province of Solomon Islands over a 23-year period pre- and post- logging have shown no changes in mist net capture rates of this species (T. Lavery pers. comm.).	Unknown	The Umboi Tube-nosed Bat is present in Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. In Papua New Guinea it is found on the Bismarck Archipelago (New Britain, New Ireland), on the islands of Umboi, Buka and Bougainville (Bonaccorso 1998). Bonaccorso (1998) also records it on Manus Island in the Admiralty Archipelago, although Aplin et al. (2015) suggests that the Manus population more closely resemble the ‘N. albiventer ’ form. The identity of a Nyctimene species recently recorded on Mussau Island in the St Matthaias Island Group is currently unknown and may be N. vizzcaccia , but according to Aplin et al. (2015) has closer affinities to N. albiventer. It is present over much of the Solomon Islands west of Malaita (Simmons 2005) including Guadalcanal, Ysabel, Choiseul, Fauro, Kolombangara, New Georgia and Vangunu islands. The species ranges from sea level to 1,800 m asl. (Bonaccorso 1998).	The species is unlikely to be hunted given its small size and the nature of its solitary roosting.	Terrestrial	It is not known if the species is present in any protected areas, and this is not likely to afford the species much protection, as at least in the Bismarck Archipelago the majority of protected areas were either logged or cleared between 1972 and 2002 (Shearman and Bryan 2011). Further studies are needed into the distribution, abundance, natural history, and threats to this species (Bonaccorso 1998) as well taxonomic clarification.
