==Description==
Wahlberg’s epauletted fruit bat is brown to tawny colored with white hair patches at the base of the ears. Males are typically darker in coloration than females.〔Hayman, R.W. and J.E. Hill. 1971. Order Chiroptera. In Meester, J. and H.W. Setzer (eds.) ''The mammals of Africa: an identification manual''. Smithsonian Institution Press, Washington, D.C.〕 This species is named for erectable epaulettes of hair that form around large scent glands in males only.〔Andersen, K. 1912.

Johns Hopkins University Press, Baltimore.〕 Males are also distinguished from females by air sacs on the neck that may increase the volume of courtship calls.〔Kingdon, J. 1974. ''East African mammals: an atlas of evolution in Africa''. Academic Press, New York.〕 Scent glands are located near the white ear patches in both sexes.〔 Wings are broad as compared to other bat species.〔Wickler, W. and U. Seibt. 1976.
