English: Tube-Nosed Fruit Bats

Paranyctimene is a genus of bats in the family Pteropodidae.[2][3][4][5] They are distributed in Indonesia[6]
Taxonomy

The genus was proposed by George Henry Hamilton Tate in American Museum Novitates (1942), describing specimens obtained on the Archbold 1936-37 expedition to New Guinea. Resembling the genus Nyctimene, the tube-nosed bats, the taxon was reduced to a subgenus of that group in 2001.[7] However, the Mammal Species of the World demurred from this arrangement, pending analysis of the phylogeny of both groups, instead recognising the following taxa,[8]
