The typical reptilian sperm has only a head and tail without the neck. However, the proximal centriole is capped by a neck cylinder, which also encloses the connecting piece and the base of the axoneme. Much variation in the ultrastructure of reptilian sperm tails is found in the connecting piece, neck cylinder and middle piece. yhe current study was aimed at elucidating the ultrastructure of the area between the nucleus and the annulus in the skink Eumeces laticeps, a squamate lizard.Broad-headed skinks Eumeces laticeps were sacrificed between January and May, during the period of spermatogenesis. Testes were fixed in cold Karnofsky’s fixative, pH 7.4, postfixed in 1% OsO4 at room temperature, dehydrated in alcohols and acetone, embedded in Spurr’s epoxy mixture and examined with a Philips 300 EM.In spermatids undergoing chromatin condensation, dense material appears in the post-nuclear cytoplasm (Fig. 1). Some of this, developing close to the spermatid membrane, might be associated with the developing annulus (Fig. 1 AN), but most of the dense material which concentrates arround the proximal centriole (Figs 1,2,3,5), gives rise to the conical capitulum, and the connecting piece.
