ASE, anterior spermatozoon extremity; Ax, axoneme; CM + EO, association “cortical microtubules + external ornamentation”; LE, lateral expansion; M, number of mitochondria; MaxCM, maximum number of cortical microtubules; N, nucleus; PSC, posterior spermatozoon character; TEO, type of external ornamentation location according to Quilichini et al. [48]; TPSE, type of posterior spermatozoon extremity according to Quilichini et al. [46]; SB, spine-like bodies; +/−, presence/absence of considered character; ?, unknown character.
