The little collared fruit bat (Myonycteris torquata) is a species of megabat in the family Pteropodidae found in Angola, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, the Republic of the Congo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Ghana, Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, Togo, and Uganda.

[2] On its dorsal side, its fur is dark chestnut brown and long, compared to its ventral surface which is shorter and paler in color.

According to Bergmans (1976), it appears to be a solitary species, spending most of its time in the rainforest zone and near the forest-savanna boundary.

[2][3] The little collared bat tends to fly in the upper strata of the forest, sometimes descending to lower levels where it can be observed.

It is not known whether these species are incidental hosts or a reservoir of Ebola virus infection for humans and other terrestrial mammals.
