Abstract
A SEM study on morphology of lingual papillae of Korean long-fingered bat (Miniopterus schreibersi fuliginosus) and Savi's Pipistrelle (Pipistrellus savii) was conducted. Three kinds of lingual papillae were observed: filiform, fungiform, circumvallate papillae. Filiform papillae were divided into two types; the type 1 had a group of needle-like projections, and was distributed throughout the front half of the tongue; the type 2 had a smooth and thick body, and was found in rear half of the tongue. 35 to 45 fungiform papillae were found on the dorsal surface of the tongue in both species. They were observed along the lateral margins and were also found on front and rear end part of the tongue. There were two to three noticeably large fungiform papillae arranged in a straight line on the region between lingual prominence and circumvallate papillae. There were two circumvallate papillae close to the rear end of the tongue. They were large and round, each having two layers of pads. The overall morphology of lingual papillae of M. schreibersi fuliginosus and P. savii was found to be similar with other Chiroptera. However, few but noticeable differences were found among the filiform papillae and fungiform papillae. Type 2 filiform papillae differed in that bifid and trifid configuration were found in M. schreibersi fulginosus unlike in P. savii. In addition, numbers of large fungiform papillae located in the center of posterior region of the tongue were different with M. schreibersi have three while P. savii having only two.
