Sulawesi stripe-faced fruit bat
The Wallace's or Sulawesi stripe-faced fruit bat (''Styloctenium wallacei'') is a species of megabat in the Pteropodidae family. It is endemic to Sulawesi and the nearby Togian Islands of Indonesia. Cave paintings resembling these bats have been found in Australia, where bats of this kind are not otherwise known.
==Taxonomy==
The Sulawesi stripe-faced fruit bat was first described in 1866 by the British zoologist John Edward Gray, Keeper of Zoology at the British Museum. He gave it the name ''Pteropus wallacei'', naming it in honour of the British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace who had collected the first specimen in Sulawesi in Indonesia. Although Wallace was sure that the specimen he had found was a new species, his announcement was met with scepticism, and others thought the bat was a juvenile masked flying fox (''Pteropus personatus''). In 1899, the bat was moved to the new genus ''Styloctenium'' by the German zoologist Paul Matschie. This genus was believed to be monotypic, but in 2007, a single bat found on the island of Mindoro in the Philippines was described by Jacob Esselstyn and added to the genus as ''Styloctenium mindorensis'', the Mindoro stripe-faced fruit bat.
