There appears to be little recorded concerning the natural history of this species.

Range:
This species was endemic to Guam. Only three specimens were collected, the last being shot by hunters in 1968. Despite intensive field work on the island’s fruit bats, there have been no confirmed records of the Guam Fruit Bat since that time. There was a possible sighting of the species in the late 1970s (G. Wiles pers. comm.).

Conservation:
This species is listed on Appendix II of CITES.
