Genera
Acerodon
Acerodon is a genus of megabat in the Pteropodidae family. It contains five species, all native to forests in Southeast Asia, and all except one threatened. They are closely related to Pteropus. [more]
Aproteles
Bulmer's fruit bat (Aproteles bulmerae) is an megabat endemic to New Guinea. It is listed as a critically endangered species due to habitat loss and hunting. It is the only member of the genus Aproteles. [more]

Neopteryx
The Small-toothed Fruit Bat (Neopteryx frosti) is a species of in the Pteropodidae family. It is monotypic within the genus Neopteryx. It is endemic to Indonesia. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests. [more]
Pteralopex
Pteropus
Bats of the genus Pteropus, belonging to the megabat suborder, Megachiroptera, are the largest bats in the world. They are commonly known as the fruit bats or flying foxes among other colloquial names. They live in the tropics and subtropics of Asia (including the Indian subcontinent), Australia, Indonesia, islands off East Africa (but not mainland Africa), and a number of remote oceanic islands in both the Indian and Pacific Oceans. There are at least 60 extant species in this genus. [more]
Rousettus
Rousettus is a genus of Old World fruit bats or megabats. They are sometimes referred to as dog-faced fruit bats, or flying foxes. The genus is a member of the suborder Megachiroptera. The genus consists of ten species that range over most of Africa to southeast Asia, and the islands of the south Pacific. [more]
Styloctenium
Styloctenium is a genus of stripe-faced fruit bat in the Pteropodidae or (megabat) family. It comprises the following species: [more]
