1894. Pteropus hypomelanus Thomas and Hartert, Novitates Zoologicæ, I, p. 655. September, 1894 (Sirhassen).

1895. Pteropus hypomelanus Thomas and Hartert, Novitates Zoologicæ, II, p. 489. December, 1895 (Pulo Pandak, Pulo Panjang and Pulo Laut).

Eight (one in alcohol) from Sirhassen and seven (one in alcohol) Pulo Laut. It is highly probable that these specimens represent a species distinct from the true Pteropus hypomelanus of Ternate.
