Isolated teeth of a lesser short-nosed fruit bat Cynopterus brachyotis (Müller, 1838), a fulvous fruit bat Rousettus leschenaultii (Desmarest, 1820), and a dawn bat Eonycteris spelaea (Dobson, 1871) are described from the Middle Pleistocene Tham Hai cave locality in northern Vietnam (Lang Son Province). These are the first fossil findings of the Old World fruit bats in Vietnam. The Middle Pleistocene association of Pteropodidae from the Tham Hai locality may largely reflect the composition of species that roosted in local caves.
描述了来自越南北部(谅山省)中更新世 Tham Hai 洞穴地点的小短鼻果蝠 Cynopterus brachyotis(Müller,1838)、棕果蝠 Rousettus leschenaultii(Desmarest,1820)和夜蝙蝠 Eonycteris spelaea(Dobson,1871)的孤立牙齿。这是越南首次发现的旧世界果蝠化石。Tham Hai 地点的翼手目科的中更新世组合可能在很大程度上反映了栖息在当地洞穴中的物种组成。
