(females). Males are sometimes darker and on average larger than females, and their muzzles are broader. Males can be distinguished from a distance by their expansible cheeks with folded upper lip. Muzzle is relatively long, and tongue is elongated and muscular. Eyes are large;irises are brown. Ears are relatively short, rounded, naked, and brown, with dark rims and anterior and posterior light ear patches. Adult males have white epaulettes with 9-mm hairs, sometimes encircled by band of brown pelage. Dorsum is fawn or light sandy brown, paler on shoulders and sometimes with yellowish tinges on hindlimbs and around tail; hairs are fawn, with dark brown bases; pelage is soft and slightly fluffy, extending along forearm dorsally and ventrally; and mid-dorsal hairs are c¢.

. In breeding males, skin of testes and in neck region has brown discoloration. Venter is noticeably paler, sometimes grayish; band of brown pelage encircling epaulettes can also run across throat and can sometimes be found around testes of sexually active males. Wings have claw on second digits, and membranes are light brown, sparsely covered in hair, and attach to second toes. Skull is medium-sized and robust; rostrum is relatively short and broad, conspicuously dorso-ventrally flattened; braincase lacks posterior downward deflection;sagittal crest is low but generally clearly visible; lambdoid crestis fairly well developed; zygomatic width is comparatively large, with sturdy arches; palate is relatively short; and post-dental palate is obviously concave. There are six thick palatal ridges, of which sixth and rarely fifth are postdental, and ridges 2-4 not divided. Dental formula of neonate is 12/2, C1/1,M 1/1 (x2) = 16. At birth, teeth are lightly enameled, small, and sharp; during weeks two and three, second milk teeth premolars appear, resulting in 20 teeth. All permanent teeth are present between days 81 and 150; they are heavily enameled; and premolars and molars are heavily cusped. Exceptionally, an extra upper molar can be present. Lungs are relatively large: left one is unilobed and right one has two incompletely separated lobes and an accessory lobe. Thoracic cavity is large, and abdominal cavity is compressed toward narrow pelvic inlet. Gastrointestinal tract is small and short. Chromosomal complement has 2n = 36 and FNa = 68 or 72, with eleven pairs of metacentric and six pairs of submetacentric autosomes. X-chromosome is metacentric or submetacentric, and Y-chromosome is acrocentric. Another sample yielded six metacentric, eight submetacentric, and four subtelocentric autosomes.

Wahlberg's Epauletted Fruit Bats feed while briefly hovering in front of fruits or flowers or after landing on a branch nearby. Fruitis often carried to a feeding perch where it is slowly chewed. Large pieces of fruit are held in one foot against the chest. Wahlberg's Epauletted Fruit Bats pollinate

Wahlberg's Epauletted Fruit Bats hang from one or both feet and remain motionless for long periods. Following a grooming session of ¢.30 minutes, they generally leave their roosts at dusk one by one, often in different directions. They fly during the entire night, but flight intensity drops to one-half peak level after 20:00 h. At dawn, they return to their roosts where theystart nose-to-nose sniffing and sometimes licking, probably enabling mutual recognition. In

During the first hoursafter nightly activity ends, they slept with both eyes closed, but this changed to one eye open later on, reaching a peak at ¢.10:00 h.

from competing males, where they make moderately loud gong-like calls with fundamental frequency at 7-9 kHz and several harmonics, with durations of 200- 300 milliseconds, repeated about once a second. Call frequency of males increases in presence of females; males show off their epaulettes, quiver, and beat their half-opened wings once or twice with each call. After 15 minutes to more than one hour, they move to another perch.
