Spermatogenesis in Gallegoides arfaai is similar to that described for other cestode species. Six incomplete synchronic cytokineses occur: four mitotic and two meiotic cell divisions. The primary spermatogonium divides forming two secondary spermatogonia. All further divisions occur simultaneously, resulting in a rosette of four tertiary, then eight quaternary spermatogonia and sixteen primary spermatocytes. The first meiotic division forms thirty-two secondary spermatocytes and after the second meiotic division sixty-four spermatids are formed. Spermiogenesis begins with the formation of a differentiation zone in the form of a conical projection of cytoplasm delimited by a ring of arching membranes. Within this area there are two centrioles, a centriolar adjunct and vestigial striated rootlets. During spermiogenesis, only one of the centrioles develops an axoneme that grows directly into the cytoplasmic extension. The other centriole remains oriented in a cytoplasmic bud and posteriorly aborts. The nucleus elongates and moves into the cytoplasmic extension. Granular material present in each sperm originates from electron-dense material present in the periphery of the spermatid. In the final stage of spermiogenesis two crest-like bodies appear at the Bâse of the spermatid. Finally, the ring of arching membranes constricts and the young spermatozoon detaches from the residual cytoplasm. In order to increase homogeneity in the designation of the non-typical striated rootlets previously described, in this study we propose to group them under the common designation of "vestigial striated rootlets" and its importance is discussed according to previous findings of related structures in other cyclophyllideans.

Fertilization in the anoplocephalid cestode Gallegoides arfaai with uniflagellate spermatozoa was examined by means of light and transmission electron microscopy. Fertilization in this species occurs in the oviduct lumen or in the fertilization canal proximal to the ootype, where the formation of the embryonic capsule precludes sperm contact with the oocyte. Cortical granules are not present in the cytoplasm of oocytes of this species. However, two other types of large bodies containing granular material, one of homogeneous moderate electron density and one of heterogeneous moderate electron density, are present in the perinuclear cytoplasm of the oocytes. Spermatozoa coil spirally around the oocytes and syngamy occurs by lateral fusion of oocyte and sperm plasma membranes. In the ootype, one vitellocyte associates with the fertilized oocyte, forming a membranous capsule which encloses both cell types. In this stage, spirally coiled sperm flagella adhere partly to the external oocyte surfaces, and partially enter into the perinuclear cytoplasm. Usually, several loops of the spermatozoon occur within the oocyte cytoplasm. The electron-dense sperm nucleus becomes progressively electron-lucent within the oocyte cytoplasm after entry. Simultaneously with chromatin decondensation, the elongate sperm nucleus changes shape, forming a spherical male pronucleus, which attains the size of the female pronucleus. Cleavage begins immediately after pronuclear fusion.
