THE EVOLUTION OF PERFUME-BLENDING AND WING SACS IN EMBALLONURID BATS... 

Perfume-blending behaviour has not been observed in any other emballonurid species as yet. However, as (1) histological examinations indicate the absence of glandular tissue in the wing sac also in other species and as (2) odoriferous liquids are present at least in some of these species, it is very likely that other emballonurid bats perform a behaviour similar to that of Saccopteryx bilineata.
