Ultrastructural observations on the spermatozoa of a species of Lepidodasys (Gastrotricha, Macrodasyida) [PDF]
Helgoland Marine Research, 2007 The ultrastructure of the spermatozoon of a species in the marine gastrotrich genus Lepidodasys is described. The filiform cell is composed of a cork-screw acrosome, a long single mitochondrion surrounded by a helical nucleus, and a flagellum with a 9 × 2 + 2 axonemal arrangement.

Description of two new thaumastodermatids (gastrotricha, macrodasyida) from Korea [PDF]
Korean Journal of Biological Sciences, 1998 Two new marine gastrotrichs of the family Thaumastodermatidae are described from South Korea. Tetranchyroderma gracilium n. sp. bears pestle organs, tetrancres, and two pairs of large dorsolateral tubes. It seems most closely related to T. massiliense Swedmark, T. heterotubulatum Hummon, Todaro and Tongiorgi, and T. boreale Clausen.

Reproductive organs and spermatogenesis of the peculiar spermatozoa of the genus Kryptodasys (Gastrotricha, Macrodasyida), with an appraisal of the occurrence and origin of the tail‐less spermatozoa in Gastrotricha [PDF]
Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 59, Issue 8, Page 1673-1688, November 2021., 2021 Aflagellate spermatozoa in two species of Kryptodasys are reported. Their ultrastructure shows common features, which appear peculiar to the genus and different from those of male gametes of Dolichodasys, the only other macrodasyidan genus known to have aflagellate sperm.
