WA Museum Records and Supplements | Updated 1 decade ago

Abstract - A series of 10 adult Pteropus specimens collected in West Timor in 1929 are described as a new subspecies, Pteropus lombocensis salottii Kitchener. These specimens are compared using univariate and multivariate statistical analysis, principally of skull and dentary characters, with other subspecies of P. lombocensis and with both P. griseus and P. temmincki. This is the first report of P. lombocensis from Timor and Komodo.
