菲利普·弗朗茨·冯·西博尔德（Philipp Franz von Siebold，1796-1866）是最早居住在日本的欧洲博物学家之一。然而，在世纪的大部分时间里，直到19世纪60年代，外国人在日本境内的行动受到严格限制，这削弱了西博尔德在乡村观察野生动物或收集动物标本的能力。西博尔德能够看到的日本哺乳动物中，如果不一定是在野外，并获得的例子，是狐蝠，琉球飞狐。在Siebold早期工作的基础上，Coenraad Jacob Temminck（1778-1858）于1825年首次科学地描述了该物种。然而，西博尔德最初对果蝠活动范围的观察被证明是错误的。他对该物种在九州南部的长崎和本州中部的东京及其周边地区的分布的记录尤其矛盾，显然至少部分是基于最初与Pteromys petaurista（日本巨型飞鼠）或Pteromys momonga（日本侏儒飞鼠）的混淆。
Philipp Franz von Siebold (1796–1866) was one of the earliest European naturalists to live in Japan. Through most of the nineteenth century, however, until the 1860s, movement of foreigners within Japan was severely restricted, impairing Siebold's ability to observe wildlife in the countryside or collect zoological specimens. Among the Japanese mammals that Siebold was able to see, if not necessarily in the wild, and acquire examples of, was Pteropus dasymallus, the Ryukyu Flying Fox. On the basis of Siebold's early work, Coenraad Jacob Temminck (1778–1858), in 1825, first described the species scientifically. Siebold's initial observations on the fruit bat's range, however, proved to be incorrect. His notes on the species' distribution in and around Nagasaki in southern Kyushu and Tokyo in central Honshu were particularly contradictory, apparently based, at least in part, upon an initial confusion with either Pteromys petaurista (Japanese Giant Flying Squirrel) or Pteromys momonga (Japanese Dwarf Flying Squirrel).
