Notes on collections of fruit bats from Sulawesi and some off-lying islands (Mammalia, Megachiroptera)

Notes are given on the taxonomy, reproductive biology, ecology and ectoparasites of 20 species of - mostly recently collected - Megachiroptera from Sulawesi, Indonesia. The occurrence of one species on Sulawesi is considered doubtful and a further three species are deleted from the Sulawesian faunal list. A key based on externally visible characters and a gazetteer of the collecting localities of Sulawesian bats are appended.
