Abstract
The spermatozoa of the neotropical hystricomorph rodent C. maulinus [tuco tuco] were examined cytochemically and under the transmission electron microscope. The head is flattened dorsoventrally. At the caudal end of the head there is a process oriented parallel to the tail. This process corresponds to a cylindrical extension of the nucleus, which constitutes a unique feature among mammals.
