Ultrastructural features of the ovotestes, spermatogenesis, and the mature sperm are described for three galeommatid bivalves, Divariscintilla yoyo, Divariscintilla troglodytes, and Scintilla sp., from stomatopod burrows in eastern Florida. All three species yielded similar results except with respect to mature sperm dimensions. The ovotestis contains three types of somatic cells within the testicular portion: flattened myoepithelial cells defining the outer acinal wall; underlying pleomorphic follicle cells containing abundant glycogen deposits; and scattered, amoeboid cells containing lysosomal-like inclusions which are closely associated with developing sperm.
