Zusammenfassung:Liposarcus anisitsi is a freshwater teleost from Siluriform order with external fertilization that shows cystic spermatogenesis process with spermatogonial unrestricted lobular structure of the testes. In this species, isolated or intracystic primary spermatogonia were noted as the ¨stem cells¨ of the spermatogenetic lineage. Thus, as consequence of the cystic spermatogenesis process of Liposarcus anisitsi all the three germinative cells are observed inside specific spermatogenetic cysts, since the primary and secondary spermatogonias until the spermatocytes and early and late spermatids. Spermatogonia show spherical shape with central nuclei and great amount of round mitochondria and ER profiles mainly of rough type in their cytoplasm. Primary spermatocytes have inter-relations through cytoplasmic bridges and are clearly identified by presence of synaptonemic complexes inside the nuclei. Early spermatids beginning maturational phases, as well as the late spermatids, tend to exhibit spherical nuclei, variable chromatin pattern with progressive condensation during the end steps of the spermiogenesis. In this end steps, the late spermatids show the nuclear fossa formed to the fixation of the flagella. The spermatozoon of Liposarcus anisitsi shows round head, round nuclei, very dense chromatin, lack of acrosoma, short middle piece and long tail (principal and end pieces of the flagellum). Liposarcus anisitsi é um teleósteo de água doce da ordem Siluriforme, com fertilização externa, possui um processo de espematogênese cística com estrutura espermatogonial lobular irrestrita dos testículos. Nesta espécie, a espermatogônia primária intracística ou isolada é considerada como a "stem cell" da linhagem espermatogenética. Então, como consequência do processo da espermatogênese cística de Liposarcus anisitsi todas as três células germinativas são observadas no interior de cistos espermatogenéticos específicos, desde as espermatogônias primárias e secundárias até os espermatócitos e espermátides jovens e maduras. A espermatogônia possui forma esférica, com núcleo central e grande quantidade de mitocôndrias redondas e retículo endoplasmático, principalmente do tipo rugoso, em seu citoplasma. Os espermatócitos primários se inter-relacionam através de pontes citoplasmáticas e são claramente identificados pela presença de complexos sinaptonêmicos no interior de seus núcleos. Espermátides jovens no início da fase maturacional, tanto quanto as espermátides maduras tendem
