One Case of Triphallia in the Marine Snail Echinolittorina peruviana (Caenogastropoda: Littorinidae)
Provedor de dados: 77
Autores: Castillo,Viviana M; Brown,Donald I.
Gonochoric representatives of Littorinidae have a reproductive system organized with transit organs that connects the testicle with a penis specialized for internal fertilization. However, malformations at this level can produce, like triphallia (presence of triple penis). This description corresponds to one case of triphallia found in Echinolittorina peruviana (Lamarck, 1822) inhabitant of the South Pacific coasts. The macro and microscopic analysis reveals that every penis is an independent appendix whose individual morphology is similar to that in normal individuals, characterized by a non pigmented conic penis associated with a mammilliform gland located at the base of the right ocular tentacle. The cervical sperm groove lined by a simple ciliated and...

Microscopic Anatomy of the Male Reproductive System in Echinolittorina peruviana (Mollusca: Caenogastropoda)
Provedor de dados: 77
Autores: Castillo,Viviana M; Brown,Donald I.
Echinolittorina peruviana (Lamarck, 1822), a gonochoric representative of the Littorinidae on the SE Pacific coast, has a male reproductive system adapted for internal fertilization. We describe this system at both macro- and microscopic levéis, particularly the compartmentalized organization of the gonad, and the morphology of the penis. The male reproductive system has a variegated conical gonad-digestive gland complex. The gonad presents three compartments, 1) gametogenic acinar among the glandular acini, 2) periacinar with a layer of fusiform somatic cells and, 3) interacinar with glycogen storage cells shared with glandular acini. Spermatogenesis occurs within the acinar gametogenic compartment, with the germinal line organized in centripetal form...
