La guineu voladora de l'illa Guadalcanal (Pteralopex atrata) és una espècie de ratpenat de la família dels pteropòdids. És endèmica de Salomó. Se sap poca cosa del seu hàbitat natural, tot i que probablement viu als boscos tropicals madurs. Està amenaçada per la caça i la desforestació.[1]

The Guadalcanal monkey-faced bat or Guadalcanal flying monkey (Pteralopex atrata) is a megabat endemic to Solomon Islands. It is listed as an endangered species. In 2013, Bat Conservation International listed this species as one of the 35 species of its worldwide priority list of conservation.[2]
It was the first species of its genus, the monkey-faced bats, to be described. It was described by British zoologist Oldfield Thomas in 1888, based on a specimen that had been collected by British naturalist Charles Morris Woodford. Woodford collected the holotype in Aola Bay of Guadalcanal Island, which is a part of the Solomon Islands. While they were both initially described as distinct species, the Guadalcanal monkey-faced bat was considered synonymous with the Bougainville monkey-faced bat from 1954–1978. At present, they are again both considered full species.[3] Its species name atrata is derived from the Latin word atratus, meaning "clothed in black". In his initial description of the species, Thomas noted that its fur was almost uniformly black.[4]
It weighs 438–506 g (0.966–1.116 lb).[5] It has thick and fluffy fur that almost entirely conceals their ears. Ears are small, round, and sparsely furred.[4] Ears are 19.5 mm (0.77 in) long and 17 mm (0.67 in) wide.[6] Like all members of its genus, its iris is red.[5] Its color is mostly black,[4] though its wings are occasionally mottled white.,[5][4] Individual hairs on its back are 12–14 mm (0.47–0.55 in) long. Its wings attach at the spine, unlike many species of bats where wing attachment is more lateral.[5] It has very large upper incisors and thick upper canines.[4] Uniquely, its upper canine is double-cusped. It lacks a tail.[5] Its forearm is approximately 143 mm (5.6 in).[4] Its hind foot is 43 mm (1.7 in) long, and its calcar is 18.5 mm (0.73 in) long.[6] From nose to tail, it is 240 mm (9.4 in).[4] It has an unusually high sagittal crest. Its dental formula is 2.1.3.22.1.3.3, for a total of 34 teeth.[6]
It is infrequently encountered, and thus little is known about its biology. It was once observed eating unripe mangos. During the day, it likely roosts in hollow trees.[1] It is a known host of bat flies, which are ectoparasites. Specifically, the bat fly species Cyclopodia macracantha macracantha has been found on the Guadalcanal monkey-faced bat.[5]
It was initially discovered on Guadalcanal Island, and has also been reported on New Georgia Island.[1] It was once reported on Santa Isabel Island in 1931,[3] but this was actually a greater monkey-faced bat that had been misidentified. It has been documented from 0–400 m (0–1,312 ft) above sea level, but it likely occurs up to elevations of 1,000 m (3,300 ft).[1] Most individuals, however, have been collected at or near sea level. It prefers lowland forests.[5] It is probably dependent upon old-growth forests for habitat.[1]
It is currently evaluated as endangered by the IUCN. It is threatened by hunting for bushmeat. Logging is also a threat to this species, as it likely roosts in hollow trees during the day. It has consistently been evaluated as endangered since it was first assessed in 1994, with the exception of 1996–2008 when it was evaluated as critically endangered. The only record of its occurrence on New Georgia Island is a single skull discovered in 1975. Despite extensive surveys, no Guadalcanal monkey-faced bats have been encountered on New Georgia Island since then, and it is feared extirpated from the island. It was last observed on Guadalcanal Island in September 2015.[1]

La volpe volante dal muso di scimmia di Guadalcanal (Pteralopex atrata Thomas, 1888) è un pipistrello appartenente alla famiglia degli Pteropodidi, endemico di due delle Isole Salomone.[1][2]
Pipistrello di medie dimensioni, con la lunghezza della testa e del corpo tra 196 e 237 mm, la lunghezza dell'avambraccio tra 129 e 147 mm e un peso fino a 506 g.[3]
La pelliccia è relativamente lunga, più corta che in P. anceps, ed è schiacciata sulla schiena. Gli avambracci sono praticamente privi di peli, mentre le tibie sono ricoperte di peluria solo nella parte iniziale. Il colore del dorso è nerastro o marrone scuro, mentre le parti ventrali sono marroni scure, cosparse di lunghi peli neri brillanti. Il muso è lungo ed affusolato, gli occhi sono grandi. Le orecchie sono piccole, con l'estremità arrotondata e parzialmente nascoste nella pelliccia. È privo di coda, mentre l'uropatagio è ridotto ad una sottile membrana lungo la parte interna degli arti inferiori.
Probabilmente si rifugia nelle cavità degli alberi.[1]
Si nutre di frutti di Mango.[3]
Questa specie è diffusa in due delle Isole Salomone: Guadalcanal, e Nuova Georgia.
Vive nelle foreste mature indisturbate fino a 400 metri di altitudine. Occasionalmente è stata osservata fino a 1.000 metri.
La IUCN Red List, considerato l'Areale ristretto e frammentato e il piccolo numero di individui adulti, classifica P. atrata come specie in pericolo (EN).[1]

De punttandvleerhond (Pteralopex atrata) is een vleermuis uit het geslacht der apenkopvleermuizen (Pteralopex) die voorkomt op Guadalcanal en New Georgia in de Salomonseilanden. De populatie op New Georgia is slechts van één schedel bekend; het is mogelijk dat de bijbehorende huid van dat dier zal aangeven dat het om een aparte soort gaat. De nauwste verwant van de punttandvleerhond is Pteralopex flanneryi uit Buka, Bougainville, Choiseul en Santa Isabel. Dit dier eet fruit.
De punttandvleerhond is een middelgrote vleerhond met een zwarte, meestal korte vacht. De voorarm en het scheenbeen zijn naakt. De kop-romplengte bedraagt 196 tot 237 mm, de voorarmlengte 129 tot 147 mm, de oorlengte 15 tot 20 mm en het gewicht 438 tot 506 g.

Pteralopex atrata[2][3][4] är en däggdjursart som beskrevs av Thomas 1888. Pteralopex atrata ingår i släktet Pteralopex och familjen flyghundar.[5][6] IUCN kategoriserar arten globalt som starkt hotad.[1] Inga underarter finns listade.[5]
Denna flyghund förekommer på öarna Guadalcanal och New Georgia som tillhör Salomonöarna. Den vistas vanligen i låglandet eller i kulliga områden och ibland når den 1000 meter över havet. Habitatet utgörs av skogar och dessutom uppsöker arten trädgårdar. Pteralopex atrata äter frukter och vilar bland annat i trädens håligheter.[1]
