Fig. 65From: Evolutionary morphology of sperm in pholcid spiders (Pholcidae, Synspermiata)Spermiogenesis of Pholcus spp. A Late spermatid of P. kindia, longitudinal section. Note the cylindrical AV as well as the prominent helical band of nuclear material (arrows). B Late spermatid of P. kindia. Note the helical band (arrow) and the centrally running nuclear canal with the acrosomal filament. C Late spermatid of P. attuleh., cross-section. The IF is filled with glycogen. D Late spermatid of P. bamboutos. The IF is filled with glycogen-like material and the pC is in contact with electron dense filamentous anterior centriolar adjunct material. E Late spermatid of P. bamboutos, cross-section. The IF is peripherally filled with glycogen-like material. F Coiled spermatid of P. kindia, close-up. Note the electron dense material in “water wheel” configurationBack to article page
