The black-eared flying fox, species Pteropus melanotus, is a bat of the family Pteropodidae . Also known as Blyth's flying fox, it is found on the Andaman Islands and Nicobar Islands, and in Sumatra . A population on Christmas Island, which is critically endangered, has been placed as a subspecies of this population. The conservation and taxonomic status of that population was later re-established as a distinct species, the Christmas Island fruit-bat Pteropus natalis.
