Summary The spermiogenesis of Invenusta aestus (Coelogynoporidae) is described based on electron microscopical observations. Special attention is paid to the intercentriolar body and the anchoring apparatus of the cilia. These organelles are differentiated at the beginning of spermatid maturation and undergo striking changes during gametogenesis. The importance of the organelles mentioned for discussion of phylogenetic relationships within the Plathelminthes is considered.
