Presumably found across New Guinea (possibly widespread in N lowlands) and also on Raja Ampat Is (Waigeo and Salawati); distributional limits between this species and the Steadfast Tube-nosed Fruit Bat (FP. tenax ) are uncertain, and thus distribution given here is tentative.	Head-body 63-1-93- 4 mm , tail 16- 9-21 mm , ear 10-1-12- 5 mm , hindfoot 10-12 mm , forearm 48-2-54- 4 mm ; weight 21- 8-33 g . The Unstriped Tubenosed Fruit Bat is very similar to the Steadfast Tube-nosed Fruit Bat but can be distinguished by its smaller average body and skull measurements and its more delicately built skull, along with some skull and dental differences. Rostrum is short, with long tubular divergent nostrils. Ears are dark blackish brown, occasionally with a few yellow spots on edges, and are somewhat elongated, with bluntly pointed tips and thickened medial edges. Eyes are large, with amber irises, and there is often greenish ring around eyes and darker fur behind nostrils. Dorsal pelage is dark brown, being yellowish brown on head and fading to grayish brown on back of head and darker brown on back. Females are typically lighter overall than males, with slightly orangish hue to back of their heads. Unlike most species of Nyctimene , there is no dorsal stripe down middle of back. Ventral pelage is yellowish white, being more yellowish on flanks, genital region, upper arms, and legs. Wings and uropatagium are uniquely tinged dark lime-green, being browner near dark brown digits. Wings occasionally have some randomly dispersed dark and light spotting. 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 black. Skull is deep, mandible is comparatively gracile, and rostrum is short and narrow. Post-dental palate is longer than in Nyctimene but shorter than in the Steadfast Tube-nosed Fruit Bat; sagittal crest is weakly developed; and occipital crest is weak. Dental formula for all species of Paranyctimeneis11/0,C1/1,P 3/3, M 1/2 (x2) = 24. Single lower incisor is completely deciduous, falling out before adulthood; canines and premolars are considerably longer and more slender than in Nyctimene , lower molars are broad and rounded in dorsal view; lower canines replace incisors and are long and powerful; P| is close to C, and next premolar (P,) and is outside tooth row; P, is broad; and P, and M, have separate inner and outer cusps.	Primary and secondary tropical moist forests, rural gardens, and swamps. Specimens attributed to the Unstriped Tube-nosed Fruit Bat and the Steadfast Tubenosed Fruit Bat have been recorded from sea level up to elevations of ¢. 1350 m .	Feces of Unstriped Tube-nose Fruit Bats from Madang Province , Papua New Guinea have contained native fig ( Ficus sp. , Moraceae ) and introduced piper ( Piper aduncum, Piperaceae ). They feed virtually the way as species of Nyctimene , particularly the Common Tube-nosed Fruit Bat (N. albiventer ).	Pregnant females that might be attributable to the Unstriped Tube-nosed Fruit Bat or the Steadfast Tube-nosed Fruit Bat have been recorded in January—February, April-May, and July-September. Females give birth to one young. Lactating females have been recorded in March, May, July-August, and September and young in August and October in Madang Province . This suggests breeding occurs twice a year, with two major birthing periods each year, varying from region to region.	Unstriped Tube-nosed Fruit Bats are nocturnal and roost by day in vegetation. They are poor thermoregulators; captive individuals exposed to low temperatures entered torpor to conserve energy. Thermal conductance was high for a mammal at 148%; resting metabolic rate of thermoneutral individuals was 87%, which is normal for a mammal.	Unstriped Tube-nosed Fruit Bats are largely solitary.	Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. There is considerable confusion about distributions of the Unstriped Tube-nosed Fruit Bat and the Steadfast Tube-nosed Fruit Bat, but the former probably has a wide distribution across the island and is captured relatively often. Threats to the Unstriped Tube-nosed Fruit Bat are uncertain, but broad-scale habitat destruction is probably a threat, especially because the full extent of its distribution is unknown.

Armstrong unpublished data).	20000000	Paranyctimene raptor	Least Concern		2021	2020-11-21 00:00:00 UTC	3.1	English	This species is assessed as Least Concern given its wide distribution, use of a broad range of forested habitats, presumed large population size, occurrence in protected areas, and the absence of evidence for a decline.	This morphologically cryptic species is largely solitary. It can be found in primary and secondary tropical moist forest, rural gardens, and swamps. Roosts occur in vegetation. Females give birth to single young and pregnant females have been reported throughout most of the year (Bonaccorso 1998).	There appear to be no major threats to this species that could cause widespread or imminent decline, mainly because of the species’ small size, solitary roosting behaviour and broad distribution (Bonaccorso 1998).	It can be a relatively common species and its population size is assumed to be large and stable.	Unknown	Until recently, the assumed distribution of both Paranyctimene raptor and P. tenax was considered to span the island of New Guinea, plus the islands of Salawati and Waigeo. Unpublished genetic results (K.N. Armstrong unpublished data) support information in Helgen (2007) that: “Paranyctimene tenax may be widely distributed in the northern lowlands of New Guinea and P. raptor in the south (N. Irwin pers. comm.).” The type locality is on the Upper Fly River, Papua New Guinea, which is also consistent with a southern distribution of P. raptor in New Guinea. It ranges from sea level to 1,350 m asl.	The species is not known to be hunted, used, or traded.	Terrestrial	It is presumed to be present in most protected areas within its range. Broadscale protection of forests will help maintain population size in this species.	Australasian		FALSE	FALSE	Global	Simmons, N. B., & Cirranello, A. L. (2023).
