The nucleus is cylindro-conical, composed of electron-dense condensed chromatin and tapers to a rounded tip within the acrosome complex (Fig. 5.24A). Numerous small nuclear inclusions are present (Fig. 5.24E). Distinct nuclear shoulders are absent. The nucleus increases in diameter throughout its length to a maximum at its base where it ends in a well-developed asymmetrical fossa (Fig. 5.24E). The fossa of Phyllomedusa vaillanti differs in being symmetrical and poorly developed, appearing as little more than a slight concavity.
