The ultrastructural features of oogenesis were examined in the spionid polychaeteStreblospio benedicti. Paired ovaries are attached to the genital blood vessels extending into the coelomic space from the circumintestinal sinus. The genital blood vessel wall is composed of flattened, peritoneal cells, large follicle cells and developing oocytes. Vitellogenesis occurs while the oocytes are attached to the blood vessel wall. Two morphologically distinguishable types of yolk are synthesized.
