使用染色和组织化学测试对 Ricinoides sjostedti、Ricinoides afzelii 和 Cryptocellus lampeli 的角质层进行了研究，试图确定其化学成分并将其与其他节肢动物角质层联系起来。检查表明，蓖麻类的角质层在几个方面与所研究的其他节肢动物不同，并且与蜘蛛和帝王蟹的角质层最相似。组织化学测试未能揭示硫的存在，硫是一种存在于其他蜘蛛纲动物角质层中的元素。由于材料不足，无法使用强氧化方法来确定角质层中是否存在硫。描述了蓖麻角质层中的孔道。孔道的结构和模式与迄今为止描述的任何其他节肢动物所见的不同。
A study of the cuticle of Ricinoides sjostedti, Ricinoides afzelii and Cryptocellus lampeli has been carried out using staining and histochemical tests in an attempt to determine its chemical composition and to relate it to other arthropod cuticles. The examination has revealed that the cuticle of ricinulids differs in several ways from other arthropods studied and shows most similarity to the spider and king crab cuticle. Histochemical tests failed to reveal the presence of sulphur, an element occurring in the cuticle of other arachnids. Insufficient material prevented the use of strong oxidizing methods to determine whether or not sulphur does occur in the cuticle. A description is given of the pore canals in the ricinulid cuticle. The structure and pattern of the pore canals is different from that seen in any other arthropod so far described.
