- Title
- Ultrastructure of the spines in the copulatory organ of some Monocelididae (Turbellaria, Proseriata)
- Abstract
- A comparative ultrastructural study of the copulatory organ was carried out in four genera of Turbellaria-Monocelididae. In all four genera the male copulatory organ is of the conjuncta-duplex type and has a cirrus armed with spines. Fine-structural analysis of the cirrus spines reveals that these structures are specializations within the basement lamina of the cirrus. In this part of the male canal the basement lamina has a trilamellar structure. The spines are formed by a local thickening of the middle electron-dense layer and show a structural similarity in all the Monocelididae investigated. The systematic value of this character within the family monocelididae is discussed.
