比较了两种不同科的隐气门类（Cryptostigmata）的蜡被甲的结构和功能，它们分布在两种容易发生洪水的环境中，即土壤和落叶层，以Euzetes globulus（尼科莱）（Euzetidae）为代表，和潮间带的Ameronothrus marinus（Banks）（Ameronothridae）。在cerotegument结构的差异反映了在这两种环境中遇到的机械应力和静水压力的暴露程度。在重装甲物种中，蜡蚧胸甲与气管系统相通，例如E.球状，但在那些具有轻度硬化的革质角质层的物种中，气体转移可能会发生在角质层上，例如A。marinus。
Cerotegument plastron structure and function are compared in two species of non-related Cryptostigmata from different families in two environments prone to flooding, namely soil and leaf litter, as represented by Euzetes globulus (Nicolet) (Euzetidae), and the intertidal zone by Ameronothrus marinus (Banks) (Ameronothridae). Differences in cerotegument structure reflect the degree of exposure to mechanical stresses and hydrostatic pressure encountered in these two environments. Cerotegument plastrons communicate with the tracheal system in heavily armoured species, e.g. E. globulus, but gas transfer may occur across the cuticle in those species having a lightly sclerotized leathery cuticle, e.g. A. marinus.
