There are vast numbers of bats, in terms of both individuals and species, in Indonesia, although the precise species count is currently unknown. These bats demonstrate great variation in feeding patterns, with some being insectivorous, frugivorous, nectar-eating or carnivorous. One of the insectivorous bats found on Java Island, Indonesia, is the Javan pipistrelle (Pipistrellus javanicus). This paper presents a detailed morphological description of the tongue and lingual papillae of P. javanicus, using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and light microscopy (LM). Macroscopically, the elongated tongue of P. javanicus can be divided into three sections: the apex, corpus and radix. On the dorsal part of the tongue (corpus), there is a prominence called the mediodorsal lobe, the lobe begin from the end of apex. On the radix, in the medial part, we describe the presence of a sulcus medianus. The SEM and LM observations show that the apex of the tongue bears three types of papillae: crown filiform, pronged filiform and fungiform. The corpus bears conical and fungiform papillae, whereas the radix bears vallate, large filiform, small filiform and fungiform papillae. Taken together, these results contribute to research on the tongue anatomy and feeding habits of the bat.
印度尼西亚拥有数量庞大的蝙蝠，无论是个体数量还是物种数量都十分可观，尽管目前还无法确定具体的物种数量。这些蝙蝠在取食方式上表现出极大的多样性，有些是食虫的，有些是食果的，有些是吸食花蜜的，还有些是食肉的。印度尼西亚爪哇岛上有一种食虫蝙蝠，即爪哇菊头蝠（Pipistrellus javanicus）。本文使用扫描电子显微镜（SEM）和光学显微镜（LM）对 P. javanicus 的舌和舌乳头进行了详细的形态描述。宏观上，P. javanicus 的长舌可分为三部分：舌尖、舌体和舌根。在舌的背侧（舌体）有一个突起，称为中背叶，从中背叶的后端开始。在舌根的内侧部分，我们描述了存在正中沟。SEM 和 LM 观察表明，舌尖上有三种乳突：冠状丝状乳突、叉状丝状乳突和菌状乳突。舌体上有锥形和菌状乳突，而舌根上有蕈状乳头、大型丝状乳头、小型丝状乳头和菌状乳突。综上所述，这些结果有助于研究蝙蝠的舌解剖结构和取食习性。
