. Venter is slightly paler than dorsum; adult males have collar of long white, yellow, or orangestiff (sometimes sticky), clustered hairs on throat, neck, and upper part of chest. Wings have claw on second digits; membranes are dark brown, attaching to second or third toes or between them; third finger is longer than fifth; toes rarely are weakly webbed; uropatagium is V-shaped; and calcaris short. Skull has strong basicranial deflection, rostrum is long, braincase is very rounded, sagittal crest is absent, and zygomatic arches are poorly developed. Mandible is thin and arched, symphysis is procumbent, and processes of ramus are very weak. There are seven thick palatal ridges, and ridges 5 and 6 are divided by median groove. Supernumerary molars are sometimes present posteriorly in either or both upper and lower jaws, resulting in 36 or 38 teeth, primarily in females. Teeth are rather weak except for canines that are large and recurved; cheekteeth are low (sometimes barely breaking through gum) and narrow, without prominent cusps. Chromosomal complement has 2n = 34 and FNa = 62, with eleven pairs of metacentric, four pairs of subtelocentric, and one pair of acrocentric autosomes. X-chromosome is mediumsized metacentric, and Y-chromosome is small metacentric or submetacentric.

Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. The Eastern Woermann's Fruit Bat has a wide distribution and presumably large population, and it probably is not declining fast enough to warrant upgrading its conservation category. Habitat loss and degradation might be local threats.
