The white-winged flying fox (Desmalopex leucoptera), also known as the mottle-winged flying fox is a species of bat in the family Pteropodidae. They are endemic to the Philippines. Their natural habitats are subtropical and tropical dry forests. [1] In 2008, Giannini et al. revived the genus Desmalopex and placed D. leucoptera in it.[2]
