果蝠属包括猴脸蝙蝠，这是一组只有在西南太平洋某些岛屿（所罗门群岛和斐济）的古老森林中才能发现的六种濒危物种。对该属的分类学进行了详细的评述和更新。两个'神秘'的生物物种出现在同域都布干维尔岛和Choiagul在北方所罗门群岛（对应于Pteralopex anceps Andersen，1909年和以前未描述的物种），并相应地描述和审查。斐济猴面蝙蝠（原Pteralopex acrodonta）的一个新属（Mirimiri）成立，它在形态和遗传上与所罗门群岛的Pteralopex物种有很大不同。简要综述了同域分布的翼足类物种之间的生态形态差异，包括功能形态和摄食生态的潜在差异。发生的地理模式和未来的调查重点猴面蝙蝠进行了讨论。
The fruit-bat genus Pteralopex comprises the monkey-faced bats, a group of six endangered species found only in old-growth forests on certain islands in the south-west Pacific (the Solomon Islands and Fiji). The taxonomy of the genus is reviewed in detail and updated accordingly. Two ‘cryptic’ biological species are shown to occur in sympatry on both Bougainville and Choiseul in the northern Solomon Islands (corresponding to Pteralopex anceps Andersen, 1909 and a previously undescribed species) and each is accordingly described and reviewed. A new genus (Mirimiri) is erected for the Fijian monkey-faced bat (formerly Pteralopex acrodonta), which differs greatly both morphologically and genetically from species of Pteralopex in the Solomon Islands. Ecomorphological differences between sympatric Pteralopex species are briefly reviewed, including potential differences in functional morphology and feeding ecology. Geographic patterns of occurrence and future survey priorities for monkey-faced bats are also discussed.
