Comment:
CITES: Appendix I 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
Comment:
Status: CITES - Appendix I. IUCN/SSC Action Plan (1992) and IUCN 2003 - Extinct
Comment:
Comments: pselaphon species group. Known from only two specimens and presumed to be extinct; see Flannery (1995b)
Comment:
"The 'Large Palau Flying Fox' (Pteropus pilosus) is known from just two specimens collected prior to 1874. Efforts to find living individuals on the island and among the flying foxes traded to Guam failed to find new specimens" (Wilson and Mittermeier, 2019)
