. The Fijian Long-tailed Fruit Bat has long rat-like tail disconnected from small uropatagium, very small tragus, wings that join over spine, and long tongue to collect nectar. Head is somewhat elongated and bare on most of long rostrum. Ears are relatively short but elongated, with narrowly pointed tips; eyes are large, with dark brownish irises. Dorsal pelage is light tan or grayish brown, with somewhat grizzled appearance, and darkest along head, neck, and shoulders. Lower back has only small light brown strip of fur along spine leading to tail and legs because wing membrane stretches onto lower back up to edge of spine giving a naked wrinkled appearance. Ventral pelage is paler than dorsum and is generally light brown. Wings are black, digits are pinkish brown, and index claw is absent. Tail is long, free from uropatagium, and brown, proportionately longer than any other pteropodid. Uropatagium is highly reduced but still present along inner legs, attaching near base of tail and at ankles. Skull is elongated, and infraorbital canal opens well forward on snout (as in most mammals) rather than immediately in front of eyes as in most other pteropodids. Dental formula for all species of Notopterisis11/1,C1/1,P2/2,M 2/3 (x2) =26.1',1, P!, and P, are missing; molars and premolars are reduced and elongated; and C, is long and well developed.

,it is potentially vulnerable to roost disturbance from vandalism, guano mining, recreation, tourism, and quarrying and is hunted for consumption at one cave. Two of the five known caves occur in suburban areas of Suva, Vit Levu. It is rather tolerant of disturbance and regularly found foraging in secondary habitats and urban and rural gardens. Capture rates on Vanua Levu indicate thatit is the most abundantly captured species of pteropodid (67% of pteropodids captured). Local wildlife laws protectit, but exploitation still persists. Its roosting sites should be protected, and additional studies are needed to fully understand threats. It was found on
