Abstract

Investigations were carried out on the morphology, structural arrangement, location and the numbers of the lingual papillae in Emballinurid microchiropteran bat, Taphozous longimanus with special reference to gustatory circumvallate papillae, using light microscope. The anterior tip of tongue was pointed and three types of lingual papillae covered the dorsal surface of tongue i.e. tricuspid filiform papillae on the anterior region, gustatory fungiform and two circumvallate papillae are arranged on the smooth root of the tongue (posterior side). The the number of the circumvallate papillae are strongly adapted to feeding behavior i.e. insectivorous feeding habits.
