. Bergmans’s Fruit Bat has white face markings on forehead and posterior corners of eyes; partially pale or white lips, especially around corners; short and slender muzzle; large eyes, with dark brown irises; naked ears with rounded tips; dark brown with lighter base, no basal ear patches; and moderately expansible lips. There are no epaulettes on adult males; dorsum is generally medium rusty brown to sepia-brown and speckled; hair has dark brown basal one-third, pale gray middles, and rusty brown tips; and pelage is dense,soft, woolly, and mid-dorsally
); and pelage of underparts is shorter and sparser than dorsum, with stiff hairs on chest and belly forming a collar. Wings have claw on second digits, flight membranes are light brown to dark greenish brown and reticulated, attaching to first toes; finger joints are not yellowish; and calcar is small. Skull is short and delicate; forehead region is almost straight; rostrum is relatively short; braincase is rounded; zygomatic width is relatively small, with relatively lightly built arches; palate is weakly concave; bony palate extends clearly beyond posterior teeth; and post-dental palate has straight, converging lateral margins. There are four thick, smooth palatal ridges, followed by 6-9 very thin, serrated and irregular ridges; ridges 1-3 are not divided, and ridge 4 is occasionally divided in middle. Upper incisors are relatively short and hardly curved, with blurred inner groove and without secondary cusps or serrated inner edges; and premolars and molars are rounded, almost oval in transverse section, and cusps relatively weak. Diploid number is 2n = 32, with ten pairs of meta- or submetacentric, four pairs of subtelocentric, and one pair of acrocentric chromosomes. X-chromosomeis submetacentric, and Y-chromosome is very small and does not seem to be biarmed.
