The lesser tube-nosed bat (Nyctimene minutus) is a species of megabat in the family Pteropodidae. It is endemic to the mountainous forests of two Indonesian islands, Buru and Seram, including the Manusela National Park on Seram, but is not found on the nearby Ambon Island. The habitat has an area of less than 2,000 km² and is decreasing due to logging. For this reason, these species are listed as vulnerable by the IUCN since 1996, although they apparently adjust well to the human environment and are not hunted by the indigenous population because of the bat's small size.[2]
