Their composition, anatomy and function vary widely between species. This study aimed to characterize histologically and compare the RAGs of bats. The RAGs of <jats:italic>Noctilio albiventris<\/jats:italic> (Noctilionidae) and <jats:italic>Rhynchonycteris naso<\/jats:italic> (Emballonuridae) were studied using anatomical and histological methods, and were reconstructed three dimensionally. The RAGs of <jats:italic>N. albiventris<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>R. naso<\/jats:italic> are composed of a compact glandular complex that surrounds the urethra and a pair of bulbourethral glands, which are extra\u2010abdominally located in the inguinal region. In both species, the glandular complex is composed of two well\u2010defined prostatic regions (ventral and dorsal). The ventral region showed an atypical epithelium (holocrine), where no obvious cellular limits were observed, and PAS\u2010positive secretion. The dorsal region had a pseudostratified cuboidal epithelium, with basal and secretory cells, and PAS\u2010negative secretion. <jats:italic>Noctilio albiventris<\/jats:italic> also had urethral glands (Littre glands) surrounding the urethra, however, <jats:italic>R. naso<\/jats:italic> had only muscles. Both species had bulbourethral glands, with simple columnar epithelium and PAS\u2010positive secretion. In conclusion, the RAGs of <jats:italic>N. albiventris<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>R. naso<\/jats:italic> comprised a pair of bulbourethral glands and an intra\u2010abdominal complex, composed of a prostate with two different regions (ventral and dorsal), while the ampullary glands and seminal vesicles were missing in both species. This morphology was more closely related between <jats:italic>N. albiventris<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>R. naso<\/jats:italic>, and to species of the family Phyllostomidae than to families Molossidae and Vespertilionidae.
