Abstract
⺠Hermaphrodites of S. scalpellum can carry 0-13 dwarf males. ⺠In field populations males are invariably located in two confined receptacle areas. ⺠Experiments show that cyprids developing into males settle in these areas. ⺠Settled cyprids penetrate into the hermaphrodite tissue within 12 h after settlement. ⺠These events are documented by video observations.
