From: Evolutionary morphology of sperm in pholcid spiders (Pholcidae, Synspermiata)
Initial fusion of early to mid spermatids during spermiogenesis in different pholcid species. Multiple spermatids were observed to remain fused during spermiogenesis before ultimately separating in later stages of development. AÂ Carapoia nairae. BÂ Chibchea salta. CÂ Mesabolivar iguazu. DÂ Carapoia lutea. EÂ Smeringopus cf. roeweri, note the axonemes of two different spermatids. FÂ Holocnemus pluchei
