Pteropus melanopogon: Comments
Comment:
Status: CITES - Appendix II. IUCN/SSC Action Plan (1992) - Not Threatened. IUCN 2003 - Lower Risk (lc)
Comment:
Comments: melanopogon species group. Does not include sepikensis, here considered a synonym of neohibernicus; see Koopman (1979). I follow Bergmans (2001) in recognizing aruensis and keyensis (often listed as subspecies of melanopogon following Laurie and Hill [1954]) as distinct species pending additional review of this complex. This complex includes several undescribed species (K. Helgen, pers. comm.)
Comment:
CITES: Appendix II under Pteropus, per 2013 Checklist of CITES species: Index of CITES species published with amendments to the Appendices and changes in standard scientific nomenclature following the 16th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (Bangkok, 2013). For current status see CITES.org
