The montane monkey-faced bat or montane flying monkey (Pteralopex pulchra) is a megabat endemic to the Solomon Islands. It is listed as a critically endangered species.[1] Due to its imperilled status, it is identified by the Alliance for Zero Extinction as a species in danger of imminent extinction.[2] In 2013, Bat Conservation International listed this species as one of the 35 species of its worldwide priority list of conservation.[3] Only one individual has ever been found.[1]
