Cynopterus (Latin meaning: ״flying dog״) is a genus of megabats. The cynopterine section is represented by 11 genera,[2] five of which occur in Malaysia, namely, Chironax, Balionycteris, Penthetor, Dyacopterus, and Cynopterus. About 30 names for Cynopterus species have been proposed, but only 16 are taxonomically valid forms.[3]
Species within this genus are:
Genus Cynopterus
Lesser short-nosed fruit bat (C. brachyotis)
Horsfield's fruit bat (C. horsfieldii)
Peters's fruit bat (C. luzoniensis)
Minute fruit bat (C. minutus)
Nusatenggara short-nosed fruit bat (C. nusatenggara)
Greater short-nosed fruit bat (C. sphinx)
Indonesian short-nosed fruit bat (C. titthaecheilus)
