Summary During spermatogenesis in Gerris remigis, chromatoid bodies appear in the spermatocytes and persist to the-mid-spermatid stage. These structures consist of numerous, parallel tubules, which measure approximately 500 Å in diameter. The tubules are arranged in hexagonal array, and contain dense granules that resemble ribosomes. The chromatoid body may be secretory in function, or may be involved in intracellular transport.
