In earthworms, the seminal receptacles are located in segments 8 and 9 of the body. These structures are part of the reproductive system and are responsible for receiving and storing sperm from other earthworms during mating. The seminal receptacles play a crucial role in fertilization, as they hold the sperm until the eggs are ready to be fertilized.
Seminal receptacles is the beginning of the reproductive system in the earthworm. Seminal vesicles is where the sperm are produced.

seminal receptacle = semen receiver.
There are seminal receptacles in segments nine and ten. In segments seven through fourteen, there are genitalia segments. The crop is in segments 15 and 16.

The function of the seminal receptacles is to receive semen.
The seminal receptacles are structures found in the reproductive system of some female invertebrates, such as insects and mollusks. They store sperm received from males during mating, allowing for fertilization to occur at a later time when conditions are optimal for reproduction.
Two worms come together along their ventral sides and become temporarily joined by the secretion of a "slime tube". Sperm is discharged from the seminal vesicles of both Worms's long seminal grooves on the ventral body surfaces, and enter the seminal receptacles of the other worms.

The seminal vesicles are found between segments 9 and 12. These produce a fluid in which the sperm can swim, and store the semen for later release.
