Sperm morphology of two species of Olivancillaria (Gastropoda: Olividae) from the south-western Atlantic

Sperm ultrastructure in two species of the marine snail family Olividae is examined. Euspermatozoa of both species are composed of a conical, membrane-bound acrosomal vesicle; an axial rod and a basal plate similar in both species; a solid and highly electron-dense nucleus; an elongate midpiece cons...
