Abstract
Presence of minute spicules is reported in the stomach, pyloric caecum and gonad of Ctenodiscus crispatus. Numerous minute spicules are present in the stomach, median canal of the pyloric caecum and gonoduct of the testis. The shape of common spicules in each organ is shown. The minute spicules of the testis are perforated. Those in the stomach and pyloric caecum are simpler than those in the testis.
