Abstract
Ultrastructural observations have been made on specimens of Temora stylifer a collected from a planktonic community in the northern Adriatic Sea, to ex amine the reproductive morphology of both sexes with particular attention t o the mating appendages in the male and the spermatophore structure. These observations proved useful to understand some mechanisms involved in sperma tophore transfer and placement.
