The Fijian monkey-faced bat (Mirimiri acrodonta) is a megabat endemic to Fiji. It was discovered in old-growth cloud forest on Des Vœux Peak, the second highest mountain peak (1,195 m) on the island of Taveuni by William and Ruth Beckon in 1976,[2] and is Fiji's only endemic mammal.[3] It is listed as a critically endangered species due to habitat loss.[1] It has recently been transferred from Pteralopex to its own monotypic genus Mirimiri.[4]
